(Deon) Posted December 1, 2016 Share Since Tokai is still closed, is the link between Lower Tokai / the greenbelts and Silvermine not functional? While Tokai is closed, there is no link other than the tar up ou kaaps, sorry (hence the determination to have the place open early.. like September, October, November even!)

HowardSteele Posted January 5, 2017 Share So enjoying the new Newlands /Kirstenbosch extension and to date have had no negative interaction with Hikers and Dog walkers....However Have passed a couple of mtbikers going hell for leather down the Gravel trail sections.................................... this can only lead to troubleReading the Bicycling magazine online review The Wow Rides – Kirstenbosch MTB Trailshttp://www.bicycling.co.za/training-nutrition/featured-rides/wow-rides-kirstenbosch-mtb-trails/(section of the article as printed)Take your time, breathe in the fresh air and savour the incredible beauty. Nothing here is manicured – instead, the route follows the natural flow and layout of the existing tracks. There’s a portage section too, and while some will attempt to ride it (nobody has made it down successfully yet) it’s safer and easier to dismount and walk the 100m section. After the portage is where things really start to get tough as you climb your way up to Constantia Nek. The many climbs have just as many fast and furious descents not to mention a plethora of single tracks to keep your heart racing and skills in check. mmmm "many fast and furious descents...not to mention a plethora of single tracks"Which trails are you riding mr Borrillmy edits for punctuation and spelling:) Edited January 5, 2017 by HowardSteele DJR, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Pah Bear and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloukrans Posted January 7, 2017 Share Cool, thanks Deon. Huge ups for all the hard work you guys have put in! Agreed- a big thanks to all involved!! Enjoyed the section from Newlands via Kirstenbosch to Constantia Nek on to the green belts. Came across friendly dog walkers, runners and had a chat to some while catching my breath on the climbs. That portage section is brutal!! - I even struggle walking it Edited January 7, 2017 by Bloukrans Pah Bear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same experience on that section of trail. Really enjoyed and everyone seemed pretty friendly. Made sure I slow down and even stopped to the doggy gangs amazement. AND that portage is total madness to attempt. (Deon) and Bloukrans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
