Tumbleweed Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 ain't that some of the sweetest singletrack you've ever ridden?
cat-i Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 that singletrack is so good, you want to keep it all for yourself so that it doesn't become overcrowded ... but next thing you see, someone ask you about the silly grin on your face, and before you can help it, you've blurted it all out !
Nancy Drew Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Hmmm... I'm sure it's really nice when it's dry and the end is in sight

Super_mil Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Does anyome have a map for the trails around Van Gaalens or can you get one when you pay the trail entrance fee?
Danger Dassie Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Eric is currently getting a map done, sorting out something with Garmin for him.
bd54 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Does anyome have a map for the trails around Van Gaalens or can you get one when you pay the trail entrance fee? How long are the loops ??
Borriz Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 A nice addition is to ride from Van Gaalens back to the Spar (about 8km) then do the "koppie" across the road. Its lekker tough technical terrain due it being a 4x4 track. Then do the awesome downhill at the back. There is then a route that takes you back to Van Gaalens. We often carry on past Van Gaalens and eventually enter at the back - which is bit of a drag cause it is on dirt roads, but the finish is so worth it!!
Zula Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I need a job wher i can go ride van gaalesn on a tuesday!! Or maybe I should stop sitting in hope of finding it and become the boss??
