Nope, riding just for the love of it

Also been having issues with my "seethroughvita" shorts as are my brother and his son. Previous generation ciovita bibs are still going strong but new ones only used on the indoor trainer. All get washed cold sports wash cycle with no fabric softener so I think part of the problem is that the cuts are getting smaller (therefore tighter) putting fabric under strain. Just purchased my 4th mens small corsa 2 (crash replacement) and it is too small. Having to swap for a med yet according to size charts I'm definitely a small. Time to try something new I think.

Hi Max Headroom Thanks so much for the constructive feedback which will be taken to the committee along with others on this thread. Please do not see an SGM or AGM as being a waste of time. Request for items to be put on the agenda, insist on being heard. The committee serve at the request of the members and we need to do our best to lead in a way that reflects those interests.

Hi All While we may not share the same views on hospitality as the land owner, it is his property and we (including our members) will abide by his rules. We can put it to our members at a special vote if we keep Meerendal on our trail network so if you feel that this should be done, please send requests to have it at the November 10 SGM for 2023 club fees (info@tygerbergmtb.co.za). However, you need to give consideration to the fact that for people new to the sport, it is one of the only trail networks providing green graded trails. For many, it is the closest trail and there is safe parking. This may not be to your liking, but we have over 7000 members and none of us can claim to hold a view point which encompasses every mountain biker. So in short, before we go about bashing anybody, please try to include some more "we" and "our" into our conversations and remember that it is a huge juggling act for predominantly volunteers, to cater for the needs and wants of an extremely diverse group of mountain bikers as well as the owners of the land our trails are built on.

Hi all We're not fond of hiding behind aliases and you can get the list of committee members from our website and I'm happy to correspond directly if required. We apologise unreservedly for both the language and tone of the latest club newsletter. It was both offensive and a poor reflection on the club, it's employees, it's leadership and the sport as a whole. We do not however condone riding in such a way that causes undue wear and tear on our trails. The purchase of an annual or day permit does not entitle you to ride a trail in a way that causes undue wear and tear. Going forward, our newsletters will be vetoed before publishing.

Thank you ????

bad enough you do this but to suggest others do the same on a blog site??

The club secretary has confirmed that all pending CSA licenses have been approved but the CSA offices are closed for the holidays so I'm not able to follow this up for you at the moment. Please can you pm me your details in the interim.

2013 memberships are opening up on Monday morning on the website

it is normally 2 - 3 working days - please pm me with first name, surname and contact number so I can follow up for you.

just waiting for confirmation from the membership manager and will let you know - there was a problem with the printing of the boards which caused a delay.

bike boards for 2013 are not ready yet due to a printing issue and we will post when they are available and online transactions are open. Yes you can ride with just your receipt at the moment. Yes, you can purchase 2012 membership at R200 each which gives you a bikeboard and access to all trails and green corridors. Nope you cannot ride green corridors without a bikeboard. If you are lucky, a drol will ask you where it is but if you are unlucky, you may encounter an irate and armed landowner

Hello there to all of you Full memberships were reduced to R200 which is valid until the end of January so if you're looking for some holiday riding, please purchase your membership online at http://www.tygerberg...ain-member.html and you will be notified when your board can be collected at the Protea hotel at Majik forest. This is a full membership and gives you access to the following trails: Meerendal Hooggekraal Contermanskloof Kliprug Hillcrest and also the green corridors between the trails Alternatively, access is R30 per trail per day (no access to green corridors)

Correct - visitors are most welcome. The Wednesday nightrides from Nitida didn't take off nearly as well as the Meerendal night rides but we can restart them if there's sufficient interest. Other than Thursday at Meerendal, trail ride times are between sunrise and sunset so if you need a light, stick to Majik or the dirt road network.
