Hi Guys, 

 

Any suggestions for downhill/fast flowing trails in Gauteng? i have done modderfontein and some of the Holla trails in DBN. 

 

Thanks 

Prof

Definitely go check out Wolwespruit, they have some awesome flow trails and Enduro style trails.

 

Thaba trails has some awesome trails as well, and if you are willing to travel a bit further, then Hennops and Buffelsdrift are also really nice, Buffelsdrift also has some proper dedicated Enduro lines

post-32110-0-63798200-1604034330_thumb.jpgI know the thread asks for trails in Gauteng!

But if you are prepared to travel I little further....2,5hrs to Mpumalanga then the best long, flowing, downhill trails are at Tranquilitas Farm in Waterval Boven. 

Here are just 3 of the many runs there are that are 4km or post-32110-0-35095600-1604034372_thumb.jpgpost-32110-0-16642800-1604034384_thumb.jpg

Definitely close enough for a day trip out there. 

 

It's an incredibly beautiful part of the country and I've only heard great things about the trails. Only hiked there in the past.

Hmmm, camp site. Sounds like an epic boys week away!!

Can confirm that it is majestic. I know you okes are all hella enduro, but the road riding around that area is also next level. The passes in and around Merry pebbles/Pilgrims rest etc are phenominal.

 

You definitely won't go wrong on a boys week away in Mpumalanga if it involves bikes (all types), camping and hiking shoes.

Font memories of those passes on the Harley and in car with top down and the gearbox set to the paddle shifts. 

 

From Sabie there is a section called "The 22". Those who know, know.

My Dad, Sister and I went to Sabie for a weekend when I was still like 15 or 16, we trailered 2 dirt bikes down and my SV1000, and spent 3 days messing around on the dirt bikes in forests and riding from Sabie to Whiteriver, Graskop and Pilgrims, was a good weekend, on the day we left my Dad let me ride the SV from Sabie to Lydenburg, that was one of the highlights, 15-16year old kid riding solo up that pass ???????? obviously had to restrain myself because my Dad was driving behind me but still, it was AMAZING, love that part of the country, but it's just not the same driving through there with a DC Bakkie now

I love my road bike, just not the body condoms one wears with it :ph34r:  However should you see someone in a lime/neon green/yellow short sleeve tshirt and a baggies on a blue roadie. Chances are that its me!! Normally extremely early on a sun morn.
