Thanks folks, I watched the waterworld video, it's looks amazing, steep but amazing.
Flat White says closed on the trail forks app, is this right?
Jason - if it's silly steep, ahm oooot! 😀
Flat White has closed signs across its entrance. Looks like people have ignored that and ridden it anyway, but that's a poor way to treat those working on the trail.
What is "Little Pony"?
Thanks Kelvin
Woody, there you go
Nope, not for me that Jas! I'll do GT again on Sun 🙂
Sorry Little Pony is the strava segment for the bottom half feed the pony I thought it was called that on Trailforks as well but just checked and its not on. Its basically the part of feed the pony from where the pushup starts. Only problem if you start riding the golfie regular it makes everything else you ride seem pretty tame. I always find it best to ride about 2 or 3 days after rain so its still tacky. I find it as difficult to ride when its bone dry as I do when its a mudfest.
I had an OTB incident on Avalanche, it was all a bit rock sky rock sky rock sky rock for a while 😆
Splash and dash is not to bad though as an alternative.
Took a lot of advice from this thread so thought I’d add a post in case others find it...
Im just back from two days up there in 30+ degree heat! previously only ridden it in the wet & mud and during race events where I just blindly follow the course and never really enjoyed it tbh, but I absolutely loved it this time.
My route yesterday was; repeat offender / flat white / splash n dash / waterworld into boner / 3G into Avalanche / community service / final fling.
Then today rode up and did Ray ling / Aussie rules / no social / feed the pony - over to inners and did green wing / angry sheep and finished on Gold run.
awesome few days. Highlights for me were waterworld and FTP.
also - whoever created Trailforks, I’ll buy them a pint!!
Sounds like you had a great time. Is it community service or splash and dash that has that very steep start, directly off the main forest road climb? I'm normally OK on the Golfie trails once I get my eye in [need a few runs as it's miles harder than my local stuff], but always swerved that drop-in. It's a bit of a ball-shriveller.
That's splash and dash- it's actually pretty striaghtforward,you just get down the steep by whatever method you can then work out the corner after. Then screw up the root on the little climb because you're still going "woooo"
