Guest Iron Posted March 1, 2011 Share This i think is the correct place to post this. Just got back from five days of riding trails at Holla Trails in KZN, Been there 3 times over the last year ( spending 4 days odd there each time ). I want to say how fantastic this venue is and how awesome the trails are , each time i go there are new trails , always well marked and ALWAYS cleaned of over growth. A BIG Thumbs up to all who do there part out there and long may this continue as it has some of the best riding around. THANK YOU HOLLA !!!!

tombeej Posted March 1, 2011 Share I live 2km from the trail head, and besides long weekend rides, sometimes hit the trails before work too. There's so much variety - from easy flat rides for noobies, to small kiddie trails, to the big 85km route that the Golovan X-Plore race uses (http://www.golovane.co.za). It really is a special place for mtb. The routes all start out from Collisheen Estate, just outside Ballito. Here are the co-ordinates for Collisheen:29° 29.501'S31° 10.903'E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollanic Posted June 22, 2011 Share Thanks guys! Nic here from Holla TrailsJust came across the great compliment at the top and gotta say a thanks for putting that sort of comment up. We do work hard at providing great trails and while we are overwhelmed by the other duties that go along with this (memberships, admin, advertising, websites, managing staff, liasing with riders etc etc etc), we are proud of our trails. I also forget how great the trails are until I bring friends here from elsewhere in the country and get comments like those above. That sort of feedback is fuel for our fires. (by the way I am finalising the final route for the John Dory's Golovane on 10 July 2011. The track is riding awesomely and you gonna love it. Based largely on yellow but with some new stuff thrown in. Don't forget it has the biggest prize money for a 50 km race in the country so there are going to be some big names there.)

Caerus Posted June 22, 2011 Share My only complaint/ suggestion was the route/ trail markings need to be clearer - Got horribly lost while riding on my ace. Otherwise its great, two thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted June 22, 2011 Share Yip, me too. Riding alone is not good here. Unmarked purple trail due road works. Ended up to hell and gone. Serious ride back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwah ha ha , this seems to happen to a lot of folks that ride there by themselves. I know of at least two other people that have had the same experience as us.
