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.

The section where it happened is just past that green covered water reservoir, where I think there's work on a new line...it's before a hip into a left berm followed by the big tables under the bluegums...check out my pic in previous post, that red arrow on left, immediately after that...theres a small sender...that place...

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 !!   :wacko:   Maar my tenk was LEEG !  I SHALL be back, next time I am riding to the TOP !! 

 

The last bit is not that

Enjoy SCT, looking at participation number trends over the last few years and the killer move of a new far our venue - this could be the last.

where is this? 

Sa Calobra. Mallorca. These were taken on the way up. My Fiance and I were the first people up the climb in 2019. This is my all time favorite road. It's not an Alps Giant and it's never been used in a race. But it is incredible.
