Saag Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 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 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Thanx. Will try it out if I can manage to get someone to go with....I'll let you know when I plan to again as well
Pikey Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 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.
Pikey Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 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 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Definitely my favourite spot close to Jozi....so much variation

L.T.G Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 aah you turned after the bridge, i turned before it...the very steep climb that isn't really ride-able, the zigzag up next to it has grown over.I think You rode Pofadder.... Second only to the Vulture on the toughness ladder
typhoon Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 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 Posted January 15, 2016 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.
RocknRolla Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 which one is the cliff hanger? Is that the section next to the dirt road on the way to the shop?
L.T.G Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 which one is the cliff hanger? Is that the section next to the dirt road on the way to the shop?yip, that's it.Â
RocknRolla Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 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...

RocknRolla Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 and  !!!River..meh  you make my heart sore. Dont take it personally, Different strokes and all that.The river is awesome..but it doesnt give me quite the rush that cliffhanger does...
WhuYu Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Dont take it personally, Different strokes and all that.The river is awesome..but it doesnt give me quite the rush that cliffhanger does...You will have quite a "rush" if you take a tumble down one of the edges.........LOL....
