My LAST Trailseeker for 2024 | Mountain biking Van Gaalen

In this video - I race at Trailseeker #5 hosted at Van Galen cheese farm in Hartbeespoort in the North West province. Van Galen is known for its scenic and mountainous ride. Where there's mountains, there's climbing, 690m of it. Also, I meet a fellow tribe member on the ride, which if you didn't know, was very cool!

🎉The pain I'm still recovering from😂😂. Great, enjoyable video, keep it up sir.

[@TrailswithTawanda]

My bro, really appreciate your support. It was survival of the fittest out there. We should probably ride together next time we do this. #safetyInNumbers 😂

[@debrangondonga8649]

Well done , so proud of you , umm you are so tough , i was feeling for you but you did it.😍😍

[@TrailswithTawanda]

Thanks Mbuya! It was hectic plus the sun but I was glad I never gave up on those uphills. Also makes for great content haha

[@whitneykumalo9580]

You were clearly in beast mode. Riding when people are pushing? Wild!

[@TrailswithTawanda]

I tried my best to not get off the bike

[@shumbamaasai9558]

Tawaz!!! Dope video bro!

[@TrailswithTawanda]

Thanks Shumba! Would love to have you out there one of the days

[@TheWfurst]

Do the 70k next year bro. It whipped me, but I was not fit at the time. Lovely though...

[@TrailswithTawanda]

I’m not sure I will ever be ready for the 70 at Van Gaalen. Must be a proper thigh buster

[@TheWfurst]

@@TrailswithTawanda yeah, it is tough, but that's a part of the fun of mountain biking. 🤸🏾‍♂️🤸🏾‍♂️🥃

[@TrailswithTawanda]

It is indeed. How technical was it? I do enjoy abit of root and drop here and there

[@TheWfurst]

@@TrailswithTawanda nah, not really. All relatively straightforward, I think. The most technical things I think are the some of the steep climbs or moments on those climbs and the switch-back. But no drops or jumps or fancy enduro skills required.
Trailseekers do a good job of non-technical trails, but I can't speak for the CPT events.

Go Tawa go, I love to see thi😂❤

[@TrailswithTawanda]

Thanks Kule! Out there representing the family haha

[@zvaidamwoyotagumangondonga5824]

That's right, we are behind you ❤

[@munyadziwakeorapetse5198]

I loved the shamwari saying he knows you from CZcams.
Is this also a hiking spot or just bikes?

[@TrailswithTawanda]

It’s also a hiking spot yah! The Shamwari took me by surprise. It’s insane to think you can meet people by just creating videos

[@mihlotim]

Have you done Mooketsi MTB Challenge?

[@TrailswithTawanda]

No I haven’t. Actually it’s the first time I’m hearing it.

[@joykiejoyo]

@@TrailswithTawandaIt’s in Limpopo. I’m inviting you, I bet you’ll enjoy the trail. It was held this past weekend.
