Recently, while walking in Shady Glen at the top of Oldenland Road, I came across some young guys working on the paths in the green belt. They were all around high school or university age and they were happily building paths and chatting with the passers-by. The area is currently off-limits to cycling (who knows why?) , so I'm making it my personal mission to try and get riding access for the area. The idea of having some sweet trails in my back yard may also play a part: I'm chatting to the city parks folks soon and would like to get some backing for the cause, so if anyone in Somerset West reads, this, give us a punt at: https://www.change.org/p/ward-councellor-stuart-pringle-allow-and-regulate-mountain-biking-in-shady-glen If you ave any advice or suggestions, I'd also be keen to hear them!
