Charlie600 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Hello everyone, Which nice (and safe) options are available in and around Jhb? We're staying in Bedfordview and even though we love going to Groenkloof etc. from time to time we don't always want to travel that far. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappa Bear Posted April 3, 2012 Share Try Rietvlei Zoo farm - google it, if I am not mistaking it is in Alberton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Thaba trails just around the corner from Rietvlei is also a good option, but tougher than Rietvlei though If you prepared to drive a bit...Van gaalens gets my vote as the best trails in Gauteng, but that is just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP, Groenies, alas, is one of the easiest to get to from where you are, but some of the others - like VG - are, like rouxtjie says, worth the drive.

kosmonooit Posted April 3, 2012 Share VG is da bomb but a bit of a mission from central /eastern Jhb. There is an event south of Jhb in Walkerville on Sunday Country Challenge MTB 60, 30 & 8km Fun Ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie600 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Thanks so much, we will most definitely give all of them a bash during April with all the lovely public holidays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laulil Posted April 3, 2012 Share Rietvlei near Alberton will take 25 minutes from Bedfordview. Always good with some challenging sections. Thaba Trails is probably 5 minutes from Rietvlei and is also good but far more challenging than Rietvlei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusC Posted April 3, 2012 Share Also do yourself a favor and take the drive to Krugersdorp and go ride the Krugersdorp game reserve, not very technical but a lot of fun and the scenery is just spectacular. For 30bucs a day(there is a restaurant and swimming pool) its well worth it. that's my 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
