TheV Posted July 8, 2011 Share Wanted to visit TEAK for the first time this weekend, seems to be some confusion on the Hub on it's current status? Is it open, is it closed for MTB'ing or has/will it move? Should I bother going there this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecandy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Yes u can go. Its still open. Was quite burnt last Sunday from massive fires on the Sat night, but 95% of it is still ridable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted July 10, 2011 Share I was there on friday. The fire burnt away a lot of the sighnage so I just went my own way. Was my first time there and I'll be going again soon! Its a awsome place to ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted August 10, 2011 Share According to all sources I have seen recently this past weekend was the last, it is now closed .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Closed as of yesterday.Teak itself is closing down as a whole. Apparently they've been running a loss for sometime now and the directors took the decision to shut it down or "mothball" the place for now.May well be that someone buys into it or takes over, but for now unfortunately it will be closed. Was really sad riding around there yesterday, bridge sections have already been pulled up from the singletrack. Really was one of the top riding spots for Joburgers and there's some damn fine memorys from there. Really feel for the workers though, they're facing an uncertain future as well the guy's whose business it is. Hopefully the landowners will be able to turn it around another way.

Just Keep Pedaling Posted August 10, 2011 Share I am pretty sad about this too. It really had everything in one ride. Small forests, river, mountain, plains, floating bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted August 10, 2011 Share Anyone else heard a rumour that a new venue is being planned in the East near Modderfontein? Kim Johnson from Johnson Cycles is trying to organise a bike park in the deserted Huddle Park Golf Course - here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choppie Posted August 10, 2011 Share An old golf course would be the ideal place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mix Posted August 12, 2011 Share hey guys, went to teak for the first time last sat, shocking, what a boring park, maybe im just used to Rietvlei which has the most awesome single track, forrests and blue routes. I found Teak to be boring and easy with alot of looping, so frustrating. must say even if they werent closed i wouldnt ever go back and for those who never went i personally dont feel that you missed anything. hopefully with their new park then can do a better job.

You should try Kings Kloof, 100 times better than Teak. I am going to try Rietvlei for the first time tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
