Stretch Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Did the Lynford CLassic in Ixopo this weekend, and the event organisers have to be complimented for the many sections of dual singletrack throughout the course. The sections were plentiful and long and presented perfect opportunity to overtake slower singletrack riders or simply dice your mate. Watching the top riders race each other on these sections must have been quite a spectacle. Well done!
AndreZA Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Isn't "dual singletrack" actually called "Jeep track"?
dirtrider Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Well if a Jeep can make it's one side go in another direction then I suppose you can call it a Jeep track !!
Thug Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Either you rode sections of this years Sani2C or the organisers took a leaf out of Farmers Glen's book and "borrowed" the idea.
Nancy Drew Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 It's 'purpose cut' singletrack allowing riders overtaking opportunities. The tracks are sometimes close together but can separate to go around obstacles, so no Para... it's not the same as jeep trackÂ
AndreZA Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Then what do you call double lanes made by a vehicle other then a Jeep?

Nancy Drew Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Then what do you call double lanes made by a vehicle other then a Jeep? Â Duh! Obviously Land Rover track Â

GTfan Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Would've liked to do Lynford, saving some pennies for a party at the end of the month, but you talk about duel single track, I almost have that to work and back, cos some sections there's tar foot paths with dirt ones running parallel to them

Iwan Kemp Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 About time they made a slow lane.. Â Â Â
