They are open at weekends from 9am - 1pm I believe. So maybe go for a Peninsula ride and bring your 2 passport pics with you :-) Eddy Gordo and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypot Posted November 14, 2016 Share Awesome thanks. This is very helpful They're at the white building with the big I in a green circle on it just after the Jubilee Square parking area, not the building listed as their address on their website. I walked around in circles two weeks ago looking for it... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted November 14, 2016 Share Table Mountain Bikers:...It is especially important,when we get access to a trail in Newlands Forest, Kirstenbosch and Cecilia Forest.......Transit routes to get to Hout Bay,the Greenbelts and further on,Tokai... This wasn't a route in the proposed EMP (only spoken about as a possibility in the text) - the route over above Kirstenbosch. Has this been sorted out / approved / worked out in the meantime? I really really hope that it has! Coming from Rhodes Mem side to get back to the greenbelts has always been a slog along the road. Avoiding that would be a massive win! I really really really want to see the updated trail maps!! mitsu, Reinhardt89 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted November 14, 2016 Share Awesome thanks. This is very helpfulKirstenbosch also make them on the weekends. There are also a few Cape Towm Tourism vans which cruise around the peninsula (one stops in Muizenberg all the time) which have full activity/green card making fascilities including a laminator that works. There are plenty of ways to get your card outside of office hours/on the weekend. People just like to moan breaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Newlands forest yet. So good to be able to ride away from the noisy smelly vehicles... dirtypot, DJR and Eddy Gordo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted November 14, 2016 Share Never knew this, always walk past the one standing at surfers corner yeah... they have it all set up in the back of the van. Pretty handy as they are there most weekends all day leading up into and through season. My card expires on the 30th of December so will be using them to renew it.

Fitbull Posted November 15, 2016 Share Hi Myles, Thanks for the answer, do you need a pass for these areas, green belts, Hout Bay and Black hill or can I just go riding? Is there anywhere I can find a map or something of these trails? I found something on tablemountain website but it doesnt have downloadable GPX files.

(Deon) Posted December 1, 2016 Share From the TokaiMTB Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/tokaimtb/posts/569587733234979 It's official! The new mountain bike routes as presented in the revised 2016 mountain bike Environmental Management Plan are officially open for riding. With either a day permit or annual card, you now have every right to be on the same trails as walkers and walkers with dog but courtesy is still vital! Slow for pedestrians and be cautious of not startling animals whether on a leash or not. Maybe it's also best to keep your speed in check due to the many blind corners mixed into some steep and rocky descents... there will definitely be some portage but there is no shame in walking. Thanks to Amarider, Table Mountain Bikers and PPA for assisting in this painfully slow process. While it has taken several years to complete it is at least a process that has offered the most reward since mountain biking came to Table Mountain. You are really going to enjoy it, the views are spectacular! The web link included in this post will take you to the maps on the TokaiMTB website and support the signage that is already in the ground. There is very little chance of being lost so don't rely on this as an excuse should you be found riding where you may not. It is important that we respect the few rules as most of what has been achieved in this document is made in good faith.One note on routes: the Pipe Track is unfortunately closed for repairs and be warned, it is undergoing major reconstruction so expect this to be out of action for a while. Enjoy! TokaiMTB web link: http://tokaimtb.co.za/2016-revised-environmental-management-plan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
