awesome! I was there this weekend, i went past it!

Can you confirm which tar road? The very 1st one? Or the one after the Angry Birds?

Considering how busy the park is, I expect them to be able to extend the trails in areas where there is no construction. There was plenty of singletrack that does not exist anymore, that they could re-cut and bring back. But ya, it is a bit bleak. Looks like The Ruins will be cut from the route. I assume it is residential, and having a MTB / walking trail is part of the appeal to buy there. A lifestyle purchase. It would be great if they could get some man-power and equipment from the construction team for a few days to clear some more paths. Wishful thinking of course

Thanks, appreciate it. Will give a skip

Did you ever find out about this? Keen to ride there again, but really hoping both sides of the trails are available

Ask AI. Gemini or ChatGPT.

Barrydale. Lots of farm roads and some singletrack

I guess now I have heard of issues . . .

As safe as parking can be in JHB I have not heard of issues. There is a sign-in process, and a boom with a guard.

Really great place to ride! Some long climbs too. Lots on offer in one place Also think Mars Bars is great.

wow! Looks amazing. For us here in JHB, where about is this?

Was there too this weekend. It is very dry but well maintained and looking good. There is a lot of activity in the reserve. Cars driving around, some piping being put in. I wonder if there are building plans or changes coming?

Spruit ride. Frosty 🥶

Thaba Trails. Always a treat

Or maybe your riding snacks are sub par. Are you vegan?

Very much so.

Seems like every other week there is a new (or old) section being opened up. Which is cool to see. Just need more riders to rip the grass up on them

OP posts about Thaba being his easy ride... And that was his last post 🤣 Jokes aside... how did you find it? some tricky blue sections there (assuming they open)

Exactly. We need to support them so they can grow, add more track, maintain, and most importantly get a coffee station at the end!

Yea they 100% open now. Great option to have to ride

Rode here this weekend, and it has lots of potential. Unfortunately not popular (yet) so I thought I would create this thread for awareness so they can keep it going and expand it. Inside the prison grounds, pay at the entrance. The 1st part is a bit grassy (needs more riders really) but very pretty. The route is mostly jeep track with a few single tracks. Some nice climbs for for training. 32KM has 600m of climbing. Careful the downhills (ruts!) And it has one awesome single track descent at the +-27km mark.

Anyone ridden there since the changes? What is it like? With the lack of distance available, are there redeeming factors ?

Can only comment on the Snap2 Served me well for 1300km so far. I am hobbyist at best. I am not concerned with needing to calibrate every ride or have power accuracy a small % out. With a trainer or road tyre it is not noisy either. Would recommend it

Reserve looking good. But why of why do people ride the river section when they clearly don't want riders through there? It's not ambiguous. They have sealed if off. I know it's nice single-track but there is a reason it's closed off, likely to protect the birds mentioned in this thread.
