Anthem24 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 The website is a great way to find all the videos for a trail hub easily -- I generally watch them before riding a new trail, and find them very useful. Personally, though, I was hoping for more of a one-stop shop in terms of information. Like a gpx link from those rides to get a map or an idea of distance and elevation, or even just a link to the Trailforks route -- oh, I see there's a Strava button so I guess they can be found there, and perhaps you ride sections more than once when you film. Is it worth providing a button up top for users to easily leave feedback to update info? Just looking at Tokai, for example, it would be so helpful to include all the vagaries of day permits for SANParks gates (some places cash only, some card only, but luckily an online day permit system has just been introduced: https://www.sanparks.org/parks/table-mountain/cards-permits/activity-permit ) Other feedback is that the grey text against a black background is very hard to read on my laptop screen, but great job overall -- thanks!

I’ve spent many company hours in the past watching W&M course previews during the week to prepare for my own weekend warrior-ing ahead of WC enduros lol. Their more ‘careful’ approach means you can digest specific trail features and lines easier on video than some of the fasy guys going 60kph barely touching the ground. There’s this one specific spot at conties on BR2 i saw them session on video once and i thought hmmm…at speed that looks like it could be faster than the other side everyone defaults too. I…and a few friends now colloquially refer to it as the ‘Melissa line’ in that spot and it deffo sets you up better for the next turn! you can learn from anyone. peetwindhoek, Wannabe, Anthem24 and 1 other 3 1

Funny thing is, we just got off a call with a timing provider who will be doing permit purchases for most of the trails in the Western Cape straight from their site. We planning to link into their site from ours, so it will truly be a one stop shop for all riders. Exciting times Extra little side project .... specific to the Tygerberg trails (no idea how or if it applies to any other trail hubs) 7 March I met up with a couple in Houtbay. Came down from Pretoria, riding the Argus. Then a week till they ride the Epic ... Currently no way for them, or any other visitors, to legally use any corridors .... Please wisper in the right ears that some sort of a "holiday permit" function is needed .... heck, get the clan leaders together, make it a much wider "holiday permit" ... visitors pay, ride legally, funds gets split amongst the participating clubs/hubs. PS - as a new Bottelary card holder I must have a look at your videos of these trails ... Thank you Warren Melissa Go Riding 1
