Sweet pic

 

the zebras are pretty tame just dont go behind them , there were a group of about 40 cyclists there last weekend when we were testing the floating bridge and the Giraffes were keen to join , running alongside the cyclists and then deciding to follow them accross the floating bridge , breaking it 3 times and sending our cost of build through the roof , but hey all in the name of fun

Dflip keep up the good work cant wait to see what the 50km trail will look like. One of the guys that was in our group suggested maybe some chicken mesh over the floating bridge.

Hi Dalem - I had a look at your route and I do some sections of it when I do a Sunday on my own ride, so my question is Can I do your route on my own and how safe is it?

 

It is pretty safe, we have never had any issues. On most rides, there are only 2 or 3 of us and we have never felt threatened or unsafe.

The only sections where I feel could be dangerous, are those near lanseria where you are in the middle of the bush with no one in sight.

 

Drop myself or dorpie a pm if you are keen to join us. We try and get a ride or two in during the week (afternoons from 3ish) or on weekends

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.

Gates have been opened again and trails is flowing through to the bottom fence is looking good. the bottom fence is also open
