Stiglitz86 Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 Good day Ladys & Gentleman A have taken the plunge and decided to start cycling. I have recently purchased a average MTB to start with. I have just recently moved up to JHB - bedfordview area. I have no clue where any of the nearest Mtb tracks/Trails are. Can anyone direct me to the nearest tracks/trails to my area? I would greatly appreciate the guidance. Kind regards
Zula Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Your best bet is Rietlvlei in Alberton. If you get on the N3 and head out on the R45 its about 10 mins from the on ramp. Take swartkoppies and turn right. Its about 5 or so k's on the right hand side. Probably your best bet in terms of safe places to cycle. There is alot of open land where you are and you could cycle alone but if it were me I wouldn't. Edited November 28, 2011 by Zula

On most Saturdays there are MTB rides, sometimes in Linksfield, to Emperor's Palace and sometimes we meet at Rietvlei (as above) or at Groenkloof. This weekend some of us will be at the 24 hour ride at Rietvlei in Alberton.
kosmonooit Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 There's great potential for a trail up & around the Linkfield ridge, if only someone would believe me!
Stiglitz86 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for the heads-up and replys guys. Muchly appreciated...
