FASST Posted June 22, 2012 Share Anyone heard of any safety issues at kings kloof .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share I've seen people missioning around there before but never have I felt unsafe. I wouldnt ride alone there purely because of how dangerous the actuall riding can get there. Edited June 22, 2012 by Pieter1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to stop an look around while riding in the valley and feel like you are miles away from civilsation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted June 22, 2012 Share There where the route splits at the bluegum forest, if you go left on the black route, the veiws from that little loop in the koppie are AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted June 22, 2012 Share How safe is South Africa at the best of times? We get this question all the time from clients about the venues we deal with.I have been there on my own a few times and never had any problems, but who is to say tomorrow will be the same?!

I have also ridden there before and never felt concerned. I was wondering what everyone elses feeling was about the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtbBarbie Posted June 22, 2012 Share Ridden there in small groups of 2 or 3 and never felt safety was an issue! But as Pieter1 mentioned, the riding itself can be quite dangerous! People I know came across a guy having a heart attack in the valley once and apparently getting him out was a mission! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 22, 2012 Share the only people i ever saw around there was sheep/cattle herders. the rest are all mountain bikers, hikers and trailrunners. so far i have never feared for my safety from a violence/robbery point of view. as for a heart attack and such - i have been close - specially on scorpion hill - the hill with the sting in the tail. that last 1m of ascent nearly kills me everytime... i have now counted 3 organ donors without helmets entering kingskloof as i am exiting...

RocknRolla Posted June 22, 2012 Share i mostly ride there solo i reckon my ride along HP there and back on the bicycle is far more dangerous than the threat of robbery/assault edit: i loooove riding there...

We were talking about the issue of getting out there in case some one got hurt and it will be near impossible! That scorpion hill is insane that last hump, eish.
