driewiel Posted February 1, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve61 Posted February 2, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouterretief Posted February 2, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnMano Posted February 2, 2012 Share Picked up race numbers this morning at cycle lab fourways. No goodie bag or was i unlucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nettie R Posted February 4, 2012 Share 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. Â Can the organisers say 'batch start'? Hell, the entry fee practically warrants this.

Ramrod Posted February 4, 2012 Share  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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
