'scuse the shakiness, my hardtail doesn't like the bumps too much! Video includes me realising i hadn't dropped my seat - doh!

Cool video. I've only ever ridden in the Majik Forest twice... both on the same day. Surprised at how much of the trail I remember. Need to make a plan to go back there..... it just doesn't have the excitement of Tokai's ST though.

Thanks!

 

I've done Contermanskloof and Meerendal... not Nitida or Hillcrest. Nitida is Tygerberg MTB club members only, or am I mistaken?

 

I might do Contermans > Kliprug > Hillcrest this weekend. Worth it?

What is Majik riding like at the moment? I see its wet so is it slippery mud or just dirty water and the loose stuff is gone?

The rain's got rid of the loose stuff, and besides for a couple of puddles and muddy bits it's not too slippery. However, halfway through my ride it started drizzling and then it got slippery very quickly!

 

Very bumpy at the moment as well all along the track!

Nice, I feel like riding that Zula of mine To fast now. goody. Such a nice day, I love riding wet trails(not getting wet though) I find one rides better lines in the wet cause theres less traction, makes sense? less twitch thats all.

 

Russel I need to be "shown" around somewhere around that other 40km oneday.. Ive only ridden Magic! cant beleve it.
