Clinton - theCOW Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Concrete ftwDaggapad ftwRiver ftwSavanna hills ftwOom piets ftwPomphuis ftwRevenge ftwRailroad ftwChurch ftw So many good sections, its like a smorgasbord of lekker riding Sadly I don't know it like you I know the Church well & where the hurt is going to make me bleed from my eyes. It's a proper MTB venue, with trails for all types, lekker flowing "easier" stuff, with some ball breaking test your Skillz areas as well. Thanks for showing us the ropes @ VG rouxtjie rouxtjie 1

SamIam Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 hi all. longshot but has anyone been out there recently, i.e after the rains, as i'm thinking of heading out early sat morning and just wanted an idea of the condition of the trails. i was thinking concrete, river, oom piets and the church cheers and thanks
Mike Bike Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 i was there 3 weeks ago, was ok. floating bridge is gone, but the steel one further down the river is still there
SamIam Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 mng all went out on sat morning and most of VG is in good shape. concrete, tant miemems, oom piets, church. all a little washed away and overgrown in places but in good shape. the trails near the river, as you are coming back to VG from the church, is completely washed away and a mud bath. both the wooden and floating bridges are no longer with us so either skip the church loop or track back along the river and get back to VG via the dirt roads. there could be other options that we have missed but thats all we found
Markdeep Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Ja, must go try this then....bit scared of oom piets ito getting lost...there is oke with a monster bakkie on a neighbouring farm and "HyVattieKakkie"...well his bakkie says so anyway The downhill on Nguni is awesome, it's a cattle track (hence the name?! I think) , flows like a super tube. Still not sure if this is known as Oom Piets downhill or Nguni. All I know is last time I was there Eric said "ride Nguni, new section, baie lekka"
L.T.G Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 So.....I know this is my thread... but I've been so busy with work this year and been traveling a bit so I haven't had time to get to my beloved VG...can anyone give me some feedback on what's happening?Other than the two bridges out and mud... how are the trails doing?Did the river trail get hit as hard as the 2010 December ( i think it was) rain and bit of flooding?.any photos?
CogitoErgoSum Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Hi guys Regarding the day fee for VG - I'm battling to get info on the net, or even on thehub. Sorry, I am not going through all the posts on my cellphone. Anyway, how much to ride at VG? Thanks. Much appreciated!
Guest notmyname Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Last time I was there it was R30. This was in Nov 2013.

Vega Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Hi GuysThis may have been mentioned before, apologies if it is a repeat question. Is VG open during the week?
DCSA247 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Hi GuysThis may have been mentioned before, apologies if it is a repeat question. Is VG open during the week? As far as I'm aware yes, they make cheese when not building mtb tracks...I ride Tuesday and Thursday mornings and they open.
