nigelhicks Posted March 24, 2014 Share Well the Hubs Nicko DaveD and myself hooked up with a couple of mates and Detour Trails on the long weekend and ended up smashing some All Mountain rides. We had 2 prados and a HUGE Trailer and did Shuttle-assisted runs off some of the MASSIVE mountains around Mohotlong. Trails were on average 7km long with 700m vertical elevation drop. Was an amazing weekendIf anyone is keen for something similar to Omegamans Europe trips, but dont have 15k handy - contact Detour and Rohan may be able to organise something for you. We only had to ride/hike 200m elevation gain each time for a run of 700m descent ... well worth it. Here are some pics from the weekend that I pinched from some of the okes facebook profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelhicks Posted March 24, 2014 Share totally natural cattle tracks ... not one bit of grooming Ok so there were the odd rock section that was like unrideable and you had to portage over - but on a whole 99% of the trails were rideable if you have some skill.

nigelhicks Posted March 24, 2014 Share Is it an organized thing or ghetto? Looks amazing Define organised? Its as organised as your trip to Europe will be ...you contact Rohan at Detour Trails http://www.detourtrails.co.za/ - say you want to go and do a tour and he organises it - you pay - and you go. Trials are just there - theres no timing etc. so its not a race - just a ride.But also he can cater to the type of riding you want to do - if you want to climb lots he can do that - if you are a noobie he can do that too - or if you are like us and want hectic stuff he can also do that ... Although to be fair this was the first trip he has done like this with shuttle-assisted trail riding.I approached him with the idea and he was keen so we set it up - I found the trails we wanted to try and ride that would be easy to access by vehicle uplift and off we went 3 days of riding down some insane trailsI will do some edits of our go-pro footage and put it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
