Kyle Petersen Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Compared to Coming ack from the Church ? I FounD Coming Back Down Quite ROugh In Some SportsThe church never really bothered me compared to oom piet, its pretty gnarly big rocks and drops here and there, the church was more cobbled

typhoon Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 How was the Oom Piet Loop Compared to Greek Church Tecnically ? Here's a Vid i took a little while ago of Oom Piets descent, sorry for the dirty GoPro... First half of the descent is pretty rough but gets smoother the second half. I see i'm still on top... woohoo... and on a hardtail... https://www.strava.com/segments/1572635 L.T.G 1

Flashfozzy Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Any idea what time VG opens tomorrow with it being a holiday?
mtbride Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) We did the concrete road, cliffhanger, Oom Piet, Greek church a while ago. That bloody cliffhanger is no jokes, but made it through in 1 piece luckily. Still have to actually RIDE the whole section one day when I'm big. The section after the concrete climb down is awesome, all the way to cliffhanger. After the greek church downhill we took a wrong direction for the 1st time ever, there seems to be some new trail work or something and the signage is a bit confusing. Had to climb over a fence at a spot to get back on the river trail heading back. Missed the tight section under the trees totally. Edited December 15, 2015 by Kraggie
Markdilchert Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone ever heard of any bike jacking or robbery on this route as I ride it a lot from Pecanwood on my own and wonder about the safety aspect?

typhoon Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 the view from the top of Revenge this morning IMG_9653.JPG The views from up there are awesome! Was up there mid December. Hi LTG, looks awesome, how exactly do I get to that part of van Gaalen?Do you have a gps file perhaps? After the concrete strips, go left at the T-junction, near the top of the next climb, keep right and go straight up the hill... (hike-a-bike) L.T.G 1

L.T.G Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Attached is the route I am familiar with.That's it, as Typhoon said, once you've gone over the steel bridge, before you start the descent, turn right.But be warned, it's not easy. Don't do it alone.
