Sunday short outride - Vaal Triangle (10 Sep 2017)

[tifua]

Short outride following the mountain bike route behind Vaalpark. Joining the ride was JacoJet (KTM950); Halfdaft (XR650R); Dean (WR400F); Tiaan (PW80); corne.l (XT660Z); Climbingturtle (R1200GSA); Jaco (CRF1000L); Len (CRF1000L) and myself on a 1200GSA. Started the ride at 9:30 with a short section down near the river in the sand to get everybody loose and relaxed and then headed along the route. Finished up at Horse & River for lunch at 1pm. No issues, few small drops but overall great day and a great chance for big and small (and even smaller) bikes to ride together and the route allows for more technical so we all managed to ride as a group. Will make video in next few days to include but for now some pics. any WD in the Vaal area, please send me a PM. Want to get a group going for arranging rides and gatherings.

Thanks for the lekker ride - I discovered how unfit and out of practice i am for riding single-track and soft sand. Actually i hate soft sand. Had an awesome time! Next time I will also appear without a hangover.....  >

Cool will definitely setup another one and look to see if we can expand and explore some new routes - I see so many tracks branching off the main one so must be some more great places to ride. Would be nice to be able to to link up with a route that takes us to Vaal dam

I will scratch around my gps files. I have a few routes around the dam. none as technical as the ones we did on Sunday though.

they are still ploughing as far as I know so was last run before planting. If I am mistaken, apologies.
