Was my first MTB ride when I started back in 2009. Not a nice ride as mentioned above. Shorter than 40km, congestion and mud/grass. Rather save your money.

I can't imagine the land being used as a fuel depot. Firstly too close to residential and there is also a water problem as the bowl in the centre is really a swamp almost all year.

I used to ride there often. Was even grilled by Israeli secret police type people when I came out a few years ago. Seems an EL-AL flight landed while I was riding in a 'restricted' area. Its sad that we can't get in as it is the most convenient off road area for me.

Steve - won't be long and one of the uprights will be broken - I am sure. Thanks to all the guys on scramblers and 4 wheelers and guys parking in there with their "skelms" - because of them it's closed. I doubt the fuel depo will happen. Still the part in the forest and between the runway and the highway where the lake is - it's still a nice ride - I did it last night.

Picked up race numbers this morning at cycle lab fourways. No goodie bag or was i unlucky?

Too many road crossings,leaving irate car drivers, lots of hooting,ignorant cyclists not adhering to traffic rules, drivers swearing at cops who were only trying to do their job. I felt sorry for them. All this race did, was to pee off drivers already not liking cyclists.

 

Can the organisers say 'batch start'? Hell, the entry fee practically warrants this.

I totally agree. We had loads of good riders sitting at the back as they could get/push through to the front.
