ChrisH Posted January 3, 2012 Share Hi GuysWe have almost completed the revamp of the www.mtbroutes.co.za website. There are still a couple of routes that need formating and some trails still need to be added to the map, but I'd appreciate your feedback on where we can improve and what features you would like to see added (or dropped). Have at it:) Click here for mtbroutes.co.za website Edited January 3, 2012 by ChrisH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionMan Posted January 3, 2012 Share Hi ChrisH - thanks it looks great. Question though (open for all to comment please!!??) - on the Braamfontein spruit : "Security Cyclists have been consistently and violently attacked along the Spruit since 1997. Never ride this route alone or even in pairs" ... what type of data has been used factually? The hub generally states that its safe (always in relative terms) to cycle the spruit ... I cycle there quite often in pairs, from the sunninghill area up to delta park ... if any hubbers are aware of recent incidents please let us know? Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have at it:) Click here for mtbroutes.co.za websiteLooking good Erm - permit information is sketchy in places (e.g. hemel & aarde - its not explict enough in text that permit is req or the vague price) Clicking on Eudoia cycles for hemel & aarde take s me to cederberg wine AndIs there any reason that so many of the central & klein karoo spots on the map have lovely images of the cederberg arch?? which in most cases is about 300km's away from said spots? (or am I being picky here...) Edited January 3, 2012 by Cheryl J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted January 3, 2012 Share Looks good, will be using it for sure during the next 10 days. Is it possible to get the maps sold at the trail centres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted January 3, 2012 Share Thanks guys, all this is good info, and we will have those links fixed ASAP. Obviously some stuff has gone a little bit tits up in the transition, but we expected that and that's why I asked the Hubbers to have a quick test drive. Cheryl, we are updated all the photos as we go through each and every trail. Believe it or not, we have a photo of just about every one. Our ultimate aim is for this to be a community driven site, with updates coming from the riders. Obviously it's impossible for us to make regular trips to all the trails to keep them updated as there are just on 400 at the last count, so we rely on people (and trail owners) letting us know of changes and inaccuracies.

Frosty Posted January 4, 2012 Share I notice that the bike parks are not showing, i.e. Rietvlei, Thaba Trails, etc. Any reason?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with no name Posted January 4, 2012 Share Great initiative Will be great if you can build in a function that allows other users to upload MTB trails from their Garmins etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted January 4, 2012 Share Will we be able to up and download our tracks from our GPS devices so that other riders can follow our routes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted January 4, 2012 Share The functionality to upload your own track is coming very shortly, in fact it is a priority for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted January 4, 2012 Share I notice that the bike parks are not showing, i.e. Rietvlei, Thaba Trails, etc. Any reason?? Quite simply, we haven't ridden them. Please feel free to send us a report along the same format as you see on the site and we will include it with pleasure. An online submission system is in the pipeline.
