  1. Hi. I ride a bit around Huddle park and there's somewhat of a single track surrounding Huddle on Club street. This is used by walkers, joggers, dog walkers and mountain bikers (road cyclists use the road obviously). The last few months whilst cycling on this single track of sorts, near the entrance to Huddle Park are a few motorbike riders who use this trail. But why? I can't see how one can motox inside Huddle (its quite small) and why mbike on a trail used by cyclists and walkers- its dangerous.
  2. Hi All I am the only trail builder at Huddle Park. Thank you for all your feedback and support. I would like to give you a quick update on where the track is and what we are trying to do. Firstly, as you know, we share the ground with a golf course. Initially we overlapped but after putting up the new netting, the trail now no longer interferes with the golfers. In terms of the trail itself, the route has been changed into one trail starting next to the mashie course 1st tee box and ending at the pro-shop area (creating a ring). We do not have a farm like Modderfontein and we cannot realistically offer trails of their distance. With time we will definitely cut new trail. As of now the trail is about 8/9km and we are looking to extend it down to the other end of the course as well. Over the last 2 weeks a huge amount of work has gone into clearing vegetation on the trail which seemed to have shot up after the rains. We have made good progress and after recutting, sweeping and spraying the trail is looking great. As some of you may know, Huddle Park is a wetland area and we naturally collect most of the run-off water in the area. This caused recent problems as it created a lot of mud. we have been building ladder bridges all week to amend the issue. This is our first rainy season so please bare with me. I have never seen so much mud. As for the marking of the trail: After the past few weeks cutting and clearing the trail, we hope to have made it a lot clearer. We will be replacing markers this week as many have been covered by the massive vegetation growth. Also, our previous map was rubbish, I made it on powerpoint and it was very confusing. I apologise. A new map is on its way which clearly shows the route. A new map and the re-cut should make the trail more familiar and easier to navigate. As far as the charge for the track. It is R20 and it will stay at R20 for the time being. We are aware that we cannot charge you R40 for a product not worth R40 and until we feel the track is at that level we will not do so. Please understand that I commute to CT and all the resources used to build the track have come from Huddle Park and our own in-house labour and equipment. Our small team of guys are kept plenty busy maintaining a beautiful golf course so please bare with us. I assure you that all money earned from the trail goes back into the trail. In the future the administration will definitely create memberships/multiple ride options. Feel free to send me any enquiries on my email jessb@huddlepark.com Regards Jess Brews
