But go out and enjoy the River and surrounding Singletrack ... The only medical condition you'll come back with is cavities .... Because those trails soooooooo sweet!!!

kosmonooit Posted April 8, 2012 Share The routers are all adequately sign posted as well - thanks to Eric and team. One thing I am not clear on - are you supposed to pay / get a permit at the Kaas Shop 1st? Otherwise, thanks again, best mtb trail in GP imho.

Victor van Gaalen Posted April 8, 2012 Share On the day rates are R40 p.p. and you only sign indemnity once for the year but for regulars you can get a year permit for R660...trails free for kids under 12... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted April 8, 2012 Share Really hope LTG is not paying anymore, he has been such an awesome representative for VG. will def be seeing me soon. Ltg, might ask if you keen on playing tour guide for me and a mate or 2 (something around 20-30km, what type of climbing can we expect)?

awesme Posted April 8, 2012 Share Hi thereSeen you posted url's to the http://connect.garmin.com link, might be easier at times to actually post the gpx file, easier to download (in discussion with the admin to allow us to do just this on here, create a section where we can post a short summary and the accompanying gpx files, which others can then download). G hi awesmeI've posted a few files on this thread of various routes i've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer4Recovery Posted April 10, 2012 Share Did the Greek Church loop over the weekend & it was my first time at Van Gaalens. All I can say is AWESOME!!! It was a bit confusing the first time, but I did not get lost. This place is a gem! Need to go ride there more often... The flowing single-track next to the river must be the best I have ever ridden!! L.T.G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted April 10, 2012 Share Over and above VG being super lekker to ride...its also gives me the top workout score in sporttracks if I do the concrete strips, daggapad, tant miems, oom piets and river home. If you add the greek church in as well, its a epic day in the saddle. Works everything...your climbing, descending, tech ability, speedwork but dont even think about riding it if you haven't gone tubeless L.T.G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
