Riverbed cycle challenge in Kgalagadi

[Lisbeth]

I still can't see why they can’t have the cycling along the road instead of on the virgin riverbed.

Stating that I am 100% against this challenge, I just want to point to the fact that here we are talking about a race for mountain bikes and on the normal road it would not be a challenge.....no difficulties. Said that I am sure that they could have found a circling trail around TR that would be much less harming. I still think it is a horrible idea

Have you seen those roads, Lisbeth? Challenge enough methinks! (just kidding) I also remain against it.

[Lisbeth]

Annie, I have travelled on those roads, but on a mountain bike I would not judge them a challenge.......in a race

No bicycles in KTP!!!!!!! Above all, no challenges

Thanks for your cool-headed efforts here and on your blog, annie!

My suggestion somewhere was for the trail to be on "existing" but non-tourist roads...sort of like the firebreak tracks in KNP...are there such patrol/maintenance roads in KTP?

[Lisbeth]

RP, they do not need visitors to KNP

[Richprins]

Yes, MM, but are there these primitive roads or not!? -O

[Toko]

Ja, very few and it's all thick sand dunes up and down

[Lisbeth]

I am lost

Agreed Maybe RP thinks you are MM

The custodians again prove that they aren’t worthy of the title

MM might be MMe
