DJR Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) nice little wake up ride on the Monday morning. .........My old stomping ground that. Still love it to bits and cannot go a year without riding it to The Top, just to know that still I can. Edited January 14, 2019 by DJR ChrisF and BenReaper 2
CAAD4 Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 What is the distance and elevation? I did vasbyt there in the army, so I have a score to settle, which includes stopping to enjoy the view?
fanievb Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Gave the roadie some outside time today, she's tired of zwift and the paincave. partydave, BenReaper, RocknRolla and 2 others 5
Bos Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Flow trail held up well...we rode until about 15h30....(Uncle Duane got tired )...only a few small marbles collecting in the bowl of second hip at the top, easily avoided....Someone ended himself OTB just after the water reservoir....shoulder/collar bone methinks, medics were on hand all day and they got him out...heal quick whoever you were! That's the only section I would say needs some work, you come out of that top section quite fast and there's nothing to catch you as you pass the reservoir and that kicker there must have caught him...its a flat corner that needs a berm....there is some work going on next to the trail with some raw, unfinished, deep berms so maybe that's coming soon..The flow trail is RAD! Some proper stuff with Euro influence for sure.....get there if you can! Edit...new line?Screenshot 2019-01-14 at 10.48.04.png Nice. Its quite expensive for a day out, but If the guys keep adding trails and one gets to do 10 runs of awesome trails, I'm all for it. I wonder if the plact the OTB happened is the same place as where I almost had a OTB last time. Just before the Table, next to the JD's. There was a funny lip, as if there use to be a jump that was removed or something? It just popped my back wheel up when I wasn't expecting it and I hit the table very out of control. I must say, I am still gaining confidence in jumping a FS bike. When I rode a jump bike I could boost to the moon, but Its very easy to get very nose heavy on a FS, and at speed, its sh*t scary. I'll be running a Full face next time.

ChrisF Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 What is the distance and elevation? I did vasbyt there in the army, so I have a score to settle, which includes stopping to enjoy the view? The climb starts from the first river crossing. This is about 10km from Prins Albert. I climbed a mere 5,3km, with an elevation of 481m. The gradient plays around between 8 and 12 degrees .... Really should have hung in there for another km to get a 500m elevation !! Maar my tenk was LEEG ! I SHALL be back, next time I am riding to the TOP !! The last bit is not that DJR 1
