Van Gaalens Mountain biking and running trails

Ja but you struggle with tech oom

 

Doesn't work I promise. Share file from garminconnect

[MTBc]

is it really that bumpy

 

Not even on a rigid.

How do I get 60 to 70kms at Van Galens? I know that getting to the greek church and back gets me around 40km. I tried finding concrete road i while back but got myself lost, it seems i am missing something towards the cabbage farm

 

This is my ride from Monday, 55km though.

If you add JouBliksem (3km) after the church descent turn left, Savanah hills (2km) before the church, i'm sure it'll get you to 60ish.

Before turning up to head to Oom Piets, you could always head out on the district rd for 5-10km to add distance.

What's the route and/or hill with the most ascent and also the most technical? Looking for around a 40k distance trail run route for the Otter or a hill to do repeats on.

Does anyone know if it'll be possible to ride there on Saturday morning? I see there's some or other trail running story going on.
