All this foreign stuff is great but get down to Induna in Hazyview - they have loads of stuff that looks just like this. In fact most of the Sabie/Grasskop area is much the same.

Rotorua, New Zealand....the trail map...this place is out of this world. At the end of day 1 i was torn between never leaving and not being able to walk. Its just like Tokai but 10 times the size and with a whole bunch of specially designed technical trails, and little practice obstacles, plus the World Champ downhill course from a few years back if you feel like taking the special flashing light airlift route out... its insane.

you know when is the best time of year to go there ?

[Palaeodom]

I was there in November, perfect a little wet to firm everything up and make some fun mud, but warm enough to make it an all day into the evening riding conditions. Feb and March its much dryer and warmer. Anytime in the summer is great. If you're planning to go for the world cup make sure you take your bike! There's a very cool place outside Auckland called Woodhills too...very fun.

Hi Slowbee, it is about 15km outside Middleburg in the Karoo. I have to say that I just love the Karoo, it is hard to describe its beauty.
