What's the best stretch of singletrack in SA?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Harker's red route is nice and scenic and beautiful and I do love it, but maybe not THE BEST single track in SA. Jonkershoek Canary up and down including the new top section and then loop that with the old single track loop. Lots and lots of fun. For something more technical with jumps and drops I prefer Tokai. Start at the top with Cobra then link that with Mamba and the bit that runs all he way down. Jee-hah!

 

I might have to phone in sick today...

Even Majik is fun if you start way at the top and then run it all the way down! Top section is especially fun now that I have a 36 Talas on my Mojo. Life is beautiful.

As for GP - Bridal Trail from van Gaalens cheese farm...

Is this near Hartebeespoort Hekpoort Skeerpoort area? (Inlaws live there; next time I fly with my bike).

 

Wheres the start of the trail?

 

Van Gaalens is in Skeerpoort (sp?).  Drive past Pecanwood (on your R) until you reach the T-junction.  Turn left and a couple of hundred metres on your right is the cheese farm.  Its about 6-7km of track in one direction.

Saying a certain stretch os singletrack is the best imo is a very subjective thing. It is like saying the colour blue is the most beautiful colour.

 

Half the fun is discovering new track and building your own.

Honestly I love any single track I ride on, some are different to others and that makes it interesting.

 

I dont think Ive ever finished a section of single track and thought "gee that sucked"

And speaking of Dirtopia's trails....the Delvera black route is pretty special....granted it's not a 'black diamond' rated trail....simply named black route

Oh wait....nearly forgot....Wiesenhof 24hr course deserves a mention. Sadly it's only open for the event!

 

Which is why you need to cram in as much riding as you can in those 24 hours - to last the rest of the year!

Pity the poor back-up crews who don't get to ride....
