Harryn Posted August 17, 2015 Share I have in mind to ask the okes in the office if they will consider opening the park up once a week (on Wednesday) for night rides. Would anyone be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerryonimo Posted August 17, 2015 Share Well done to Jess and his team for their efforts! We all know that as a relatively new venue it will take a bit of time to get the trails right and that the distance is limited due to the location. We need to support our local trails and at R20 a pop it is not hard to do so. I ride there often with my two young MTBer's and they love it! It is safe and ideal for beginners to practice without too much of a technical challenge. Keep up the good work Jess we will definitely be supporting you in the future!

Harryn Posted September 10, 2015 Share is it still R20? thinking of taking a pop in there this afternoonYes, the net running along the club street trail just as you start has come loose, and is blowing in the wind. It caught on my handlebar today and I almost saw my ass. Walk that bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow7 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Huddle park trails now R50 and same for kids. Bit steep in my opinion considering the length of routes. Thoroughly enjoy riding there but at the new prices would rather ride else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubes Posted March 18, 2016 Share I agree too. It is near me and I do enjoy it but it is steep for the distances. Modders is nearby and is same price but much greater distances. The Huddle trail is fun but very short and loops back onto itself many times so is not worth R50 for a quick ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy it there, and like going to spend an hour or so there after work or at lunch time, but at 50 bucks a pop? no man, they must get real. There was talk of an annual ticket - any idea of this is coming to fruition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was talk of an annual ticket - any idea of this is coming to fruition? Yeh that's it. I did the same when it was R20. I don't mind R30. But R50 to make it worthwhile means doing a lot of loops lol. I'd be keen for an annual ticket...... also for a weekly night ride, there were security concerns I think around that but I am sure they could get that right as it is not a large area and they have security for the golfers anyway and the golfers tee off at night on the driving range......

jbrews Posted March 18, 2016 Share I disagree. The guys at Huddle have provided us with a SAFE and SECURE alternative to Modderfontein which is, to most of us, significantly more convenient. If we all had time to go to Modderfontein during the week, we would. But it is unarguably convenient having a 10km (and probably more soon) track on our doorstep, including the luxuries of a parking lot, restaurant, bike wash and a SAFE family orientated environment. Obviously it will never provide the distances that are offered at Modderfontein (made up of a few farms), but this is a beautiful golf course environment in the middle of Linksfield surrounded by many amenities - not to mention the obvious savings on fuel getting to the this location. The current guys in charge of the track have also made significant improvements to the old track of early 2015 and have built 2 top quality pump tracks which are not commonly found around town. Is R50 really SO steep ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
