Trail Riding 101 - Centurion to somewhere

[Tr0jan]

So we got all the ladies together again and we set off for the usual ride and braai.

It was raining heavily on Saturday night and the mud munster was everywhere, and took 2 victims

We ended up at the famous broken down house on the top of one climb.

If you have a look you can see the trail running down from the top of the mountain.

We followed the foot path down the steep decline after the small mountain pass, just to get to the Hennops river.

Have a look at the bike standing at the bottom, this can give you an indication of where we went

At the river our usual braai spot was "taken" so we went exploring for a better picnic spot.

We took one direction but it ended up being a bit overflowed. We turned back, and went up the mountain again.

Up the mountain we followed which ever trail came our way, and we were impressed

How about a picnic spot with a view, and a lekke braai.

Great trip all together, rode 72km and took about 5 hours.
7 crashes, most were the KLE's. BUT THEY ARE DAMN HEAVY!

 

[Tr0jan]

Oh ja, from where we were, you could see harties (or the edge where the damn wall is).
The MTN dome, the hillbrow tower, and Pelindaba.

Was an awesome ride.
Pity no KLR showed up.....  ???

But was very challenging on the KLE, it became very heavy as some inclines even the scramblers strugled and had to work hard!!!

 

[Groenie]

Ja swaer. I can't ride yet and you okes saw what state my bike is in. This afternoon I'll start assembling it again, this time with all the farkels. Next time I'm in for sure.

[KatieMad]

Laat weet wanneer julle weer hierdie trail gaan ry. Ek sal ook graag met my plastic wil saamry.

Hoekom maak ons nie 'n crowd op en gaan ry by De Wildt nie? Was self ook nog nie daar en sal graag wil gaan.

 

[Tr0jan]

Ons kan ja, ma soos ek verstaan van de Wildt, is daar iets van alles.

As dit baie technical gaan wees, gaan ek eerder met die pit bike gaan. Minder tech, dan sal ek met die KLE gaan.

Post op "planning a ride", en dan gaan ons. (die wat pitch anyway)
