jacbor Posted June 18, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/127373-mtb-trails-in-ruimsig/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
crasher Posted June 18, 2013 Share 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.

rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Share 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.
