The Ghost Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Flat riding, single track, some technical...i dont mind climbs, and any distance below 60kms to start with... Happiness!!! I did the Greek church route and the climb on the first half and the rocky technical stuff on the 2nd half nearly killed me.
L.T.G Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I did the Greek church route and the climb on the first half and the rocky technical stuff on the 2nd half nearly killed me. But don't you agree it's so worth that climb for the view once you're up there and B) (more importantly) the awesome downhill and ride through the donga going down? Edited July 20, 2012 by L.T.G

DeltaAlphaMike Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Wow VG is an awesome place to go and ride but I seemed to have left my climbing legs at home this morning but one thing I did discover as well was that my technical skills really need to be developed . Thanks L.T.G., @venture and Mike for the ride this morning it was great

DeltaAlphaMike Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Pleasure....Glad you enjoyed!don't forget to consider the tubeless option we discussed I definitely think it is something I need to concider.
Mike Bike Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 thanks L.T.G for showing us around your playground..
DeltaAlphaMike Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Which route(s) did you do? For the most part we went along the river and oom piet's which is where I decided I would eat some dirt. Myself and L.T.G went back to the farm house while Mike and @venture went up to the church Edited July 21, 2012 by DeltaAlphaMike
Paul Ruinaard Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Was At VG today. Did about 25kms all on single track. Lots of awesome riding and really impressive. I need a guide. Is there a regular ride that leaves from the parking lot? I want to do about 40 to 45 Kms (winter fat) at about 16 tp 17 average.
The Ghost Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Might head out there on Monday; anybody else going out?
DeltaAlphaMike Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Might head out there on Monday; anybody else going out? Dang I would join you if I could but unfortunately a bit tight on cash for fuel =(. I am thinking of making Van Gaalens a bi-monthly affair since I really really enjoyed todays outing. But I did learn one thing; I need to get my climbing leg working again =/
