Pics & Vids that make you want to ride...

Already way ahead of you on that front. But one cannot always do a long ride after work. And main Bloemendayl seems so wasted.

Bloemendaaler is pretty dodgey at the moment. Passed some dude on there the other day and he looked terrified :P Even Conties only has the black as a technical line. The blue is just as tame as Bloemendal's Lombards.

Anyway, perhaps the reason RSA technical MTB skills are in general pretty *** is because our trails are in general way too chilled, but that's a discussion for another thread :P

Correction - 2 blacks. A line and Revised. 

 

And yes, Bloemendaler resembles Nagasaki in the 40s. Blown Out.

veer off (right) the blue at Conters just after the sweeping left hander near the top. Quite a lekker technical section with some jumps. It joins up with the blue again lower down.

Myself, Raydek & TaahirWP at Jonkers a couple of weeks back. Beware, it's slow. I was absolutely toasted by this point.

It's the new Red Phoenix AKA Bennet's Red. Starts right next to the new Black route AKA The Plumber... And yes, it's on never-ending side, but towards the middle of the mountain. 

 

EDIT: But as you can see, cornering is my nemesis. And I was completely blown out from the climb(s). No speed coming out of the corners, and missed most of the jumps. It's a *** lekker trail. Not as technical as Canaries, but way faster if you have the energy for it.
