I will be taking LBB to race the national XC on Saturday (I will only ride the sportsclass) and was thinking to go early Friday morning. While he's practicing on the XC course I would rather go for a ride on one of the trails.

Yup. Absolutely brilliant. I forget the colours but the long one was damaged due to fire. The 2nd longets was really cool. The bottom half does join up onto the XC course so I'm not too sure what their plan is there.

Heading off there tomorrow AM for two days of bike testing. Can't wait! Heard it's awesome.

 

Probably see you there BigBen. If you see us, say hi. The big camera lenses should make us easy to spot...

I know that this thread is about Mankele but please be advised that Induna is closed on Sundays. We were there last year, arrived at the gate and NADA!
