(Deon) Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Sad day but guess we knew it was coming.. I have just been informed that Mamba, Boomslang, Northshore and Puffadder are being felled. I am heading up there now to see the extent but brace yourselves for the worst! Please note that these trails will be closed for the duration; best get your ride in in the direction of Silvermine as it probably means the Jeeptrack towards the mast will be closed, as well as the levels below. Mast JT open, expect temp closures though! Good news is that this week the Section ranger and I will be speccing the Cobra and Rinkhals trails for realignment!! Budget is set and funds secured. Will see about squeezing in a few changes to the trails being felled right now too. EDIT: Added Northshore trail to the list of closures.. and update on Jeeptrack closure..

Iwan Kemp Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 What a sad day. Truly. I have spent so many memorable kilometers on my bike up there in the rain and mud and boiling dead heat. Was there that I did my first back to back test and was the trail I used most often for suspension set up. Sad, sad day.

Smiles Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 ahhh, was going to get another access card next week - not too sure I will as all the good singletrack is disappearing.
