deca300 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Hey hubbers, Any personal people here? I'd like to know when there's group rides. Road would be nice, but I prefer off road. I'm not a pro but trying to get there =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterF Posted December 11, 2012 Share There will be an open day at the Hopewell Estate on the 17th December, should be a big turnout. About 40km of new trails to ride. Directions Travel along Cape Road approx. 3km past the Wedgewood Golf Course Turn right at the Hopewell Conservation Estate signpost (R368) Drive 3km to Hopewell Conservation Estate entrance Edited December 11, 2012 by PeterF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azonic Posted December 11, 2012 Share Easiest and closest to town is to hit Norm Hudlin trails, very nice riding for someone getting into it, or a good workout if you smack it hard. http://www.normhudlin.co.za/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selous Scout (aka LegTrap) Posted December 12, 2012 Share As far as I remember it starts at 0800 with a 40km route (very hectic),30km and 15km.Children will also be catered for,so bring them along with their bikes. You can bring and braai but they will be selling braai packs as well. I think it is going to be a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current occupants are very quick to empty the money box, but not so quick to get the lawnmower or weed wacker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deca300 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Hey guys thanks for all the replies! gonna try the Hopewell Estate trails! I went to NormHudlin 2 weeks ago... Everything looked fine..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azonic Posted December 12, 2012 Share Hey guys thanks for all the replies! gonna try the Hopewell Estate trails! I went to NormHudlin 2 weeks ago... Everything looked fine..? Yeah, but you only saw half of the trails. The bottom farm with arguably the biggest piece of trails have been closed off, and I doubt the new owners give a damn about getting it sorted again...... all the while people keep paying the full price, for half the trails.

Azonic Posted December 12, 2012 Share Spoke to Lex now, they are done with NH. They are out at Hopewell now to manage those trails. I've ridden there but still prefer the compactness and green-ness of NH, riding under the canopy of the trees, etc. Sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayleyearth Posted December 12, 2012 Share WHAT??? I loved that place! it was PERFECT for fast training rides! And it was save for me to ride alone too (not like Baakens) MAN-o-MAN...I am SO sad now....was planning to go ride there when I visited PE early Jan.

Longbarn Killer Posted December 12, 2012 Share There is a small cross country course next to Profiles and Cyclopro. Rob, the owner of Cyclopro said they are negotiating with the municipality to turn it into a really decent bike park. i often see people riding there in the evenings after work and every second Thursday, they host a mini race.
