  1. Ahh so now you have edited it?My reply and all that followed was based on your original post ( shown in its entirety in my original reply) that was a simple one line attack and you added more than the last line. Again I was not the only person that noticed. Let it go.
  2. We can ask next time we are in with them, will give feedback when we have any news. Not sure when the next meeting is - will have to get back to you on that.
  3. Yrs you did, I'm not the only one to notice. Anyhow enough for now, hopefully your question was answered.
  4. The whole thing is absolutely laughable.
  5. Nice edit there, adding stuff to make your post look reasonable after the fact. Going back to where this started last night - We asked the right question but we're given false (or at best misleading information), short of calling the officials liars in meetings there isn't much we can do.
  6. I seriously doubt it mate, even if we tried I get the feeling that the old section would be open before a decision would be reached.
  7. For the first time ever you can fit a full ball by ball summary in a tweet... 04W24W0W04100000W40000110W020000401000W000000000101000011W0011200010040040000W1W30000000000000400000000000001004W
  8. Durbanville, stellenbosch, Paarl. Contermans is fun, hoogekraal too. But the fuel costs are a bit ouch to say the least so we normally try and get a few of us together to minimize the costs.
  9. Yes it's all me, that's why you a're getting so much support.
  10. If you need enlightenment try a church. Or ask Deon his opinion of my approach to the process and meetings, because unlike you he does actually have some knowledge. Or alternately you can continue making baseless accusations and snide insults, something you seem to pride yourself on. There is a third option - let's meet and thrash this out face to face.
  11. Yes your in depth knowledge of the meetings is shining through really well. You are nothing more than a small time troll who has nothing of value to add.
  12. All very well but he was asked directly in our previous meeting "when will we be able to ride at Silvermine again?".The answer was September. He knew what we were asking, who we were asking for and why we were asking. It isn't your fault he didn't answer truthfully, he chose not to.
  13. You want rude? Take a look at your post.
  14. Simple. We asked the right question, they didn't supply the right answer. I have spent hundreds of hours of my own time dealing with them and other TokaiMTB issues and it pisses me off when someone with absolutely no clue as to what has been said and done makes a stupidly incorrect statement and puts it across as fact.
  15. I had the last laugh, I went to the meeting on my bike...That said the guy on the gate was determined to keep me out [emoji1]
  16. I enjoy hiking there too but they were somewhat disingenuous when telling a bunch of mountain bikers that Silvermine would be open in September, knowing full well the cycling section would remain closed.
  17. Not that I'm aware of.We can ask next time we sit down with them.
  18. Unfortunately not. After a meeting today the picture is somewhat clearer, but not one that is going to get SANParks heading up anybody's Christmas Card list. Silvermine East is opening on 1st September, so you are good to go if you want to hike, walk the dog etc. Silvermine West (the bit we are interested in) is only scheduled to open again on 1st December. So while parks were telling us Silvermine would be open from September they conveniently forgot to mention it wasn't the part you can actually ride in. They are good like that... If anything changes we will let everybody know. And yes I am pissed off too.
  19. In that Price range I would scour the classifieds here for a used 26'er - can normally dig up a bargain or two there.
  20. I feel that, lost without the place. I'm so pathetic that on Sunday I sat and repeatedly watched a twenty second video of my youngster riding the first corner on Boulders... Just remember though that it will return and hopefully bigger and better.
  21. What is the point of a post like this? It adds nothing of value. If you have some information that actually shows the post you quoted was incorrect then please tell us.
  22. Allegedly tomorrow.Although I will only believe it once it's happened.
  23. There is a meeting with parks scheduled for tomorrow, assuming they don't cancel at 2 hours notice due to 'senior management not being available '. Again.
  24. Got this for my birthday from the wife, who seems to have fully embraced her role as an MTB widow... http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/mss-65/DSC_0375_zpstkplyn7y.jpg
  25. The obvious reaction to this would be to ensure the organizers have absolutely zero security in future and use the lack of security as proof that they really did not expect any issues and were therefore not responsible in any way for any unfortunate incidents...
