Tips and Technique: Rock gardens come in all shapes and sizes. It's important to check them out before tackling these features. Typically one is looking for a direct, smooth and safe line. Apart from bike setup, like suspension and tyre pressure, body position is super important.
A light touch on the brakes, a balanced body position over the bike, keep all your weight on the pedals, tighten your core but keep your hips and grip loose.

Highlighting how one can choose different lines based on skill level, confidence and the type of bike being used.

We rode Tokai MTB Park on Saturday and the Dirtopia Trails at Muratie Wine Estate on Sunday. MTB followed by wine tasting at Muratie and Delheim.

"I had a fantastic weekend of riding and adventure with Rhys and your kind self, fulfilling my Cape Town desire.
(I've also chalked off another continent with one left to ride in - see you in Patagonia or downtown Bogota!)
You were professional, knowledgeable, responsive and friendly. It felt like riding with a friend rather than a guide. So great intimacy.
Great bike quality, perfect routes, and excellent pacing & instruction! Beyond expectations!"
