Anyone ride at the Voortrekker Monument?

[Regard]

That is the problem! No real start or end to this trail.

 

We have managed to put together our own trail that takes in some serious ups and downs and wich last about 2-3 hours. To be honest, if I go there this week I will most probably will have to look for the start myself again.

 

As you get to know the place better you will realy discover serious "gems" of trails there that will test all your skills.

 

Hope they will now start to make it bit more "user friendly"!

Nice one M.

 

 you may not claim to be the current holder of the juju without any proof on the fall/Lie down thread.

 

Unfortunately can't provide proof as I don't think the mods will approve of me posting a pic of one of my mammary glands. It connected with the bar end  

 

I will try to convince Spud to relieve you of juju duty on the weekend I am sure he will oblige.

I've been studying it in Google Earth and I think we used to follow the route of the red dots. I'll give it a try within the next week and will report back.

Thanks DT. Will owe you big time if you get it right. Breathing is still painful for me this morning.

 

I think my mtb just didn't like being on the hard black stuff. I wiped out in the parking lot as I was finishing my ride.   The cord from my iPod hooked my handlebar and I didn't have enough time to uncleat before hitting the ground. Landed on top of the bar end and winded myself.  Why is uncleating when lying down so much harder than when you're upright?!

This is the route we used to follow - about 2 years ago

Thanks Pappa Bear. I assume you start at the right-hand side dot and head up Skanskop first?

[Pappa Bear]

Nope start with the LH one firs, go down to eeufees, then head toward PTA.......etc....

 

The last bid of track is single track, running down from the fort to the parking area.

Thanks. Will see if I can follow the same route when next I'm there. I know one section where I will definitely be doing a hike-a-bike....on the far right alongside the fence is a mean rocky uphill with a serious gradient.
