  1. Found some trees lying across the first part of the normal Ribbok ST - in the burnt area where the fire was earlier this year, but these trees were way too heavy to move by hand.
  2. Welcome in Durbanville! In addition to the Tygerberg permit, I reckon it could be worth your while to get the Bottelary permit as well (www.bottelaryconservancy.co.za) Going to explore Hawequa forest tomorrow with some mates.
  3. Just for clarification - who is considered to qualify for a pensioner permit? Tygerberg MTB Club for example considers people 60 or over as pensioners.
  4. That would be great. Had a look on Google Maps, but still not really sure
  5. Are there gravel / off-road routes that would allow one to get from Paarl to Wellington on the Dutoitskloof side - perhaps climbing up to the Dutoitskloof Pass tar road from Paarl and the down again to Wellington?
  6. Great day out at Rooiberg! Thanks to Saggy Stone for the boeries & beer! Jacques & Tersia - your bike shop and coffee shop are out of this world! Thanks to Braam & Adrian for the building such a variety of trails - that downhill on the Purple XL was really the cherry on top!
  7. Could you give more specific details how to find True Grit Bike Park?
  8. This seems a surprisingly muted response. If I were the landowner, I would have been highly concerned about the presence of unknown characters on my property who were engaged in unknown and possibly nefarious activities. This case also highlights the value of MTB riders that do have the necessary permission to be on your property - something which may still be underrated by landowners given the current general security situation.
  9. The family trail on Hazendal farm (off Bottelary Road) is quite flat with nothing technical and yet it is surprisingly enjoyable to ride - length about 7 km. The well-appointed coffee shop sells day permits at R30 per person.
