Tumbleweed Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Like...no way brah...we already started um working on it and stuff... reminds me of the story in the onion about australia getting tired of being ignored by the rest of the world, getting drunk and ploughing through the panama canal, and waking up in the middle of the atlantic
Bike Mob Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Just one of our stupid beaches you cant swim at...
Bos Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Go up Tikiedraai toward Durbanvile from Bothasig circle. Turn left onto Contermanskloof Road' date=' past the quarry on your right and on the first sharp left hander turn right onto the tar road to the farm. Farm is approx 1km up the side road on the left. Trails officially open next weekend I think. Permit is R25.00 and season tickets will be available shortly. There is also a dam at the finish area that you are allowed to swim in, which is awesome in this heat. Bung this in Google Earth for a better idea. 33?48'10.03"S 18?34'59.99"E[/quote']Thanks for info. ST looks great, too. How technical is the trail? and length of trail? Do-able for fairly average mtb? Trail is very do-able by average and even beginners. There is a green and a black route and even the black route is no problem for the average rider. It's about 15km long depending on the route you choose. We seem to have hijacked this thread very neatly. https://www.bikehub.co.za/smileys/smiley17.gif Hi Chris, This looks like heaps of fun. How much singletrack is there?
Sammajoor Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 The Capies may have the mountain.............. but in Gauteng we have money...... we can buy the mountain
Gasping Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Nice Para. I do so love the Gauteng area and especially Johannesburg. At least we have more than just a mountain and some water to get all excited about. The thing is the Cape SHOULD be beautiful whereas Johannesburg should not. It can be beautiful, as seen from your photos. Gasping2009-12-07 05:03:17
udxcob Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Sorry guys i am an ex Vaalie and as you can see from the pics you are posting jhb is only fine when the sun is setting or rising, the rest of the day is k@kThese pics taken last thursday on my ride from the harbour to llandudno and back.http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj310/udx-bmx/031220092035.jpghttp://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj310/udx-bmx/031220092036.jpghttp://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj310/udx-bmx/031220092037.jpgWe have had some terrible weather but thank goodness summer is finally here.
Dibles Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Sorry but I rode at midday so I don't have any sunrise or sunset pics.
blockhouse Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Para, I gotta admit I really miss the smog that you captured perfectly in your first photo. Reckon it's time to pack up and head back.
Christie Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Hmmm, I did not mean for this to be a "us vs. them" topic. Each place has its own merit. You keep telling yourself that...Nope. Love the place. The trees in Jhb's northern suburbs, the Jacarandas in Pta in November, the cradle, Groenkloof...

Christie Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Another Groenkloof photo. Great place to mtb, nice singletrack! Surprisingly, its about 8km from Pretoria CBD http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2676/4166200793_6f45bcb25a_b.jpg
