MTB trails in Ruimsig

[jacbor]

Hi

 

As much as I like driving out to cycle parks for a ride, I would love to be able to go out on MTB rides in the afternoons in the Ruimsig area without having to load the car. Would love to hear from residents of the area of places I can ride!

They have welded the passage closed at the top of the stadium now so you cant get through to the trail to lead you down past the dams onto the quarry road which is a pity as you cant do that loop now.

isnt it a tad dangerous past Zandspruit?

Goes right through zandspruit and no imo its not unsafe....its too busy for bikejackers, they like empty spaces with minimal traffic like behind the lionpark. Kids cheer us as we ride through there and people are very friendly. Quite an interesting place if your ride through it instead of driving.

what distance do you do an a weekend in the area

Anything from 40 - 80km...quite a network of little footpaths and trails. We also include a lap at avianto normally....just to keep it honest you know

 

PS jcmeyerss showed these trails to us, knows them like the back of his hand.

you can go around the stadium, up hole in one, turn after jim and jerrys, down the road about 2-3km and then up into the quarry, around the back and the it come out at the police station.
