HEY HOWZIT! where's Trinity Cycles? I'm coming from Jozi so that's the reason why we're starting a little 'late'.

We riding at Van G's from 7am Sat. You can join. 4 hours. Not gonna be too slow though.

 

hey howzit! thanks very much. I haven't had much interest but it will be my mate and I going for about 2 hours then or so. He's just starting to get back into cycling so easing him into it! perhaps we'd see you on the road or at Van Gaalens after?

Bardy tells me there's a newly added black route that will put the fear of (insert name of favourite deity here) into you…Him and Dassie were amongst the first to ride it.

No, it's brand new. They rode it with Eric, the dude who's built all the trails. I think it's on the other side, though. Dassie will be able to tell you more.

It is a brand new one, not pofadder. Much more technical, up & down.

 

Definitely a must if you like technical stuff, but the route is still brand new, you'll maybe find one or two unexpected surprises. :P

It's just on the other side of the dam from van Gaalens.

 

I have attached a google image with our shop location.

 

If you need any other directions, let me know. :blink:
