CatGirl Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Easy, pitch up, buy a day permit and ride!Entrance at Ongegund Winery. I uploaded a route map and profile of the Black route in the Schapenberg thread.Black is 28km Red is shorter Green is very short thanks Tankman!just one last thing: will it be safe...? lyk my ek sal ma aleen moet gan ry die naweek Edited May 9, 2011 by helloise
Tankman Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Yup, pretty safe. There are normally other riders on the trails. Perhaps do the Red route to familiarize yourself with the surrounds first. The Black route has a lekka technical section on the furthest part of the route and is probably wise to have some company for that. Edit - removed comment, dont want to scare you off mtbiking!

headhunter Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Doing this previously cancelled ride, due to popular demand, this Sunday. Bring your wind/splash jackets & a lil' HTFU 'cause I ain't gonna cancel this time, START: S/West (Lord Charles BP Garage) - Sir Lowrey's KOM points past Grabouw - Houw Hoek - Kleinmond (coffee) - Rooi Els - G/Bay - single trip up to Steenbras Waterworx KOM points- home +/- 130km's; leave S/West around 7h15, so will get to over/top of Sir Lowrey's in the light. Ave.km/h +/- 27km/h Weather looking good but a bit early to confirm it.

Tankman Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Doing this previously cancelled ride, due to popular demand, this Sunday. Bring your wind/splash jackets & a lil' HTFU 'cause I ain't gonna cancel this time, My lil' HTFU is still hibernating at 7:15 during the winter and since sunrise is only at 7:28 on Sunday, how about a later start?
Tankman Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Anyone got a profile map? Yea but this does not include the Waterworks KOM:
Tiny K Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 My lil' HTFU is still hibernating at 7:15 during the winter and since sunrise is only at 7:28 on Sunday, how about a later start? Dude! You getting old? LOL. Come on man - we wanna still get to the top of the pass while the sunrise is still fresh. Lil' HTFU can wake up while you are on the road.
Tiny K Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Yea but this does not include the Waterworks KOM: You got a mapmyride or garmin route?

Lil' HTFU can wake up while you are on the road. It is all you old asses waking up so early! During winter I wanna sleep late and snooze a little. Getting up at 4am is reserved for racing season! It aint racing season! Edited May 9, 2011 by Tankman
Tankman Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 You got a mapmyride or garmin route? No, I dont mapmyride, I ridemyride!
Tiny K Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 No, I dont mapmyride, I ridemyride! Well I like to see what I am letting myself in for before I embark on a ride. Here is a mapmyride route (just doesn't include pump station and down again). btw I am a couple years younger than you...... I still have the excitement to get up in the morning to go for a ride.... Well that and that my wife loves sleeping late which also helps me get extra hours to ride. :thumbup:
