Best single track trails in SA.......

[Danger Dassie]

Was just about to mention van Gaalens, beautiful stuff there.... After Pmb though I'll be wallowing in a pit of singletracklessness for a long while!

[Danger Dassie]

I will now keep quiet....again.

 

SILENCE... I keeel you!! Been waiting to use that one

[Aicorner]

Rietvlei is actually kwaat naas (quite nice) - although I do prefer my home turf like Giba, Howick, Garlick Timbers, Hilton, Cascades, Holla ...

[Dirtbreath]

Wendell, not sure who you are refering to but my personal problem is one of not enough time to ride.

 

I am sorry to admit that I havent ridden Rietvlei. I shall make the effort.

Can't wait to check out Rietvlei on Saturday....Anybody keen to join us on a weekend ride @ Mankele in May?

the home of the chicken pie is also quite good???

 

flowing singletrack: van galens yes!

 

and at groenkloof, you ride over that wooden bridgem you climb that piece of jeeptrack in the sun, and then you turn into singletrack again - theres a few steep turns, 'n small tree in the way, and then the singletrack is ever so slightly uphill, and the track is packed, no chance of a wheel washing out and you can peddle as hard as you can around those corners - man that is just pure pleasure!

There is some AWESOME singletrack in Tokai, but mixed feelings and 15 pages of heated debate about a 3m bridge... worth checking out and making your own mind up.

As the Jeep track starts there is a single track off to the right (I think it is a hiking path....) seriously rocky lungbuster. Very few make it all the way without walking. Great for training.

[STEEL Niner]

Sweet, we staying @ mankele. Wifes birthday present to me, cant wait!!

 

No just hope the new steed arrives before departure!

[Mother Goose]

New steed......what are you cutting loose and what is the new machine?
