Condition of emmerentia

[Uni]

Just got back from riding around at emmerentia, must say the trails are very well maintained. Is this done by cyclists or Jhb parks?

Whoever it is, thanks - great safe venue to practise on, and I finally got through those darn green gates

 

I notice in areas the palisade fences are broken from what looks like cars crashing through, do hope that gets fixed soon.

Those trails are not maintained. They're just ridden so often that they stay smooth and clean. It is a function of the soil type and terrain - flat doesn't take as much punishment as slopes.

And as for using the words "fixed soon" and JHB municipality in one sentence...bah!

They are maintained, some riders, walkers, parks etc ... albeit minimal maintenance is required for the reasons mentioned.

 

The broken palisade is a a constant issue with drivers and regularly repaired. Apparently they're looking at some kind of barrier in the higher risk sections.

 

Emmies loop has some of my favourite sections along the Spruit.

Ja, that bridge at the top of the upper treeline just carried itself up there and those berms just magically appeared. The Spruit Fairies do work under the cover of darkness.
