L.T.G Posted September 13, 2009 Share What an awesome day!!! firstly,I got to sleep in..only woke up at 630am, to a beautiful day! Breakfast, dressed, left...took a drive out to Van Gaalens from Krugersdorp. the Magalies range looked beautiful, the day is so clear i could almost see Tuesday! Rode the Van Gaalans single track (which seriously is heaven on earth) and the new track that Eric has added, awesome, but challenging, on my older trusty hardtail (stock Scott aspect 10, except for replaced cranks, now SLX), ..man that bike is awesome, never given me a day's sh*t! Now wash and shine time! PS for those of you who do ride Van Gaalens and don't know, it's not free anymore.(hasn't ben for a little while now) Fee is a measly R25, so please make sure you pay before riding, there's nobody checking, so it boils down to just being honest. Latest Bicycling mentions it's free, but that's wrong. Upkeep doesn't come free and Eric does an awesome job! Enjoy the rest of the beautiful Sunday.

Danger Dassie Posted September 13, 2009 Share van Gaalens is without a doubt a jewel. Not just the riding but the openess of the staff and family there.The trail pass fee is relatively new and has only come into effect the last month or so, you also receive a green sticker that doubles as a pass that needs to be kept visible.This is due to Eric's efforts in now securing trail access accross 40 odd farms. Theres plenty more in the pipeline too Eric and his family have become avid mountain bikers recently as well Sigh, would much rather be out on the trails today... deadlines gotta be met though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piernas Flacas Posted September 13, 2009 Share Rode the Kloofzicht rip-off. Too much walking to my liking, but I agree. At 7 AM the place looked stunning with hot air balloons in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
