    Please don’t. In just one case, an injured Caracal is being tracked by SPCA and Rangers, your presence and that of others will jeopardise their efforts as you force the wildlife further into hiding. There are a myriad of other issues that don’t pertain to our mountain bike trail soil conditions. If you know the areas are closed, there should be no reason to seek alternative means to gain entry. The Park boundary is porous, SANParks can hardly close or man every route..

    You seem almost proud of yourself. ????‍♂️
  3. (Deon)
    Great that you want to get involved. Without either money or volunteer contributions, there will be very little riding opportunities in Cape Town.
  4. (Deon)
    Indeed!

    There would have been no reason to request a donation from so many generous people, or the need to set up an advocacy membership –again supported by many more generous people acting in the best interest of Tokai– had a percentage of activity card earnings made it's way back to our trails, or any other mtb trail in the Park for that matter.

    Oh, you're talking about the "Broken Road". The Donkey trail is not open but now that that's clear, as you were. As for the rest, exclusivity is not our thing but if you ever find it in you to support us with a meager R400 per year so we can continue open more cool stuff, I've posted the link. See you on the mountain. Laters!

    We're raising funds to continue the work. Lots and lots still planned. http://tokaimtb.co.za/membership/ Boards are available at; Bike Park Uitsig, Freewheel Cycology, Revolution Cycles, Trail and Tar, Bikemob.

    Then please do not promote riding it. Thank you. That said, I am in particular very happy you approve. Do you know about our membership?

    I’ve answered your first point which you’ve clearly ignored. “Private club”, “mates”, from what planet do you hail? This is earth, join us anytime. The second point is your opinion. Based on this, I see no reason for further correspondence with you and wish you well in your endeavors to break something on which you obviously place no value. Sad that there are people who do not support improving a facility for the greater community. It could be that you’re just selfish. I would actually like to know who you are.. you must feel real brave hiding behind that pseudonym.

    Maybe the few people here who know better would like to suggest the corect route to sustaining a mountain bike network of trails. I'm quite happy to step aside if "around the block" offends you. It just so happens that continuity is our greatest ally.
  11. (Deon)
    All this over a simple membership. Edit: that improves the place you ride.
  12. (Deon)
    Ok, so quick summary. What is the issue?
  13. (Deon)
    Hell yes! Funders come and go, duh! Now he’s trying to pin on something. What a joke.
  14. (Deon)
    Well then. Now that it’s been compared to a corrupt self enriching system for elites to steal from the poor, I guess I understand your stance.
  15. (Deon)
    I give up. Continue bashing or looking for loopholes, gatecrash even... but please, for the love of God, admit each and every one of you that Tokai needs funds.
  16. (Deon)
    The previous agm we did not have a membership database. We have slowly worked towards achieving our goals, a membership component being one. It's a requirement. Not all is lost though, your funds are used to improve Tokai. We all want that, it's what everyone has in common.
  17. (Deon)
    Hi, it's not a change, we were required to create a membership database which we did at the start of 2018 and now instituting.
  18. (Deon)
    Ah geez. You need to be schooled on expectations... Edit: have your RSVP too..
  19. (Deon)
    Hi, sorry but it's been mad over the last few days. To confirm, the meeting is happening and requirements are that you will need to be a member to attend. Here is the link.. http://tokaimtb.co.za/product/tokaimtb-membership/

    So when we came up with the choice of words, we had to work on it in conjunction with SANParks. It’s their signs. We had to factor in how it’s rolled out to the rest of the Park and soon realised that by listing running, we then had to include; horse riding, walking and dogs too. Now we have one line that states exactly what the track is for and it’s not good enough... it does not get more direct than “Mountain bike only”. What part of this does not create the desired impression?
  21. (Deon)
    Budget is allocated to the repair of 5 trails. DH 123 cobra and Mamba. More available soon for AM.
  22. (Deon)
    Nothing changes. The signs only offer something concrete to make your point.. yet it’s up to how that point is understood. Often not.
  23. (Deon)
    Quite correct. My apologies. But in this context, what does lack of actually mean? Every trail is signposted.
  24. (Deon)
    no signage -

    We were able to motivate a lot off the back of those patrols .. get it? The horses were as a result of connecting the right people to speak to the right people who in turn invited us to sit in on meetings to motivate additional volunteer saps quads and horse back patrols. We certainly didn't invent anything but having the knowledge of how it all worked in 2009 on hand helped a stack! We're there Tuesdays and Thursdays too for the weekday regulars, and just as well, coz we hooked the tsotsi's on a Thursday right before the only rider for the day made his way up. His eyes when he saw them cuffed on the ground... priceless.
