Saag Posted January 9, 2016 Share 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.Thanx. Will try it out if I can manage to get someone to go with.... L.T.G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted January 9, 2016 Share Big thanks to L.T.G for the maps and help with the vg routes passed on to trail-er-park ...we had 3 days of some very very sweet trails. Itching to go back. trail - er - park and L.T.G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted January 9, 2016 Share That hike a bike looked a tad knackering .. Was surprised at that particular steel bridge there was a steel wire going across it. I stopped just in time before it stopped me dead in my tracks. But the section after that was such a blast ,so much single track in one place .what an awesome place to ride. I get the hype made about vg now. EmptyB and L.T.G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typhoon Posted January 11, 2016 Share I think You rode Pofadder.... Second only to the Vulture on the toughness ladder yeah, that's the one.Yesterday I wondered up the path just before that cattle grid, that goes to the left, definitely think it's a hiking trail, coz well... it's not very bike friendly, turned around when it went straight up...    View of Pofadder from the opposite hill.

mtbride Posted January 15, 2016 Share And the Cliff Hanger ... scares me every time we ride it. I have yet to ride the whole section in one go due to the sheer craziness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted January 15, 2016 Share yip, that's it.   Shot. it's THE only reason I ride/walk/ride/walk/walk up concrete strips... By far the best part of VG for me. The river is a bit meh when compared to that...wifey was feeling a bit off kilter the last time we went to VG so we did not do it.. and TBH the ride felt like a bit of a bummer...
