Andyr249 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Sounds fantastic! thanks to all involved I'm just wondering what's going to happen when 2 mtb'ers meet face to face in the middle... stare down? Since it is the Spruit.... in order of importance: tightest lycra, wheel size, pedal type (non-spds beat spds beat flats), number of carbon bits. That should sort out who has right of way without actually logging onto Strava. How do you insert Emoticons on the mobile site?If it's Taliban Pete I would suggest giving him right of way Or that big oke with tattoos who like to sneak up behind and then bliksem people on the Spruit. Nice work to all the fairies! Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted November 8, 2013 Share Thanks to the swamp fairies. I always slow down on top of the bank to check that no one is coming before bombing down there. Mtblife 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtblife Posted November 8, 2013 Share Stinks like an open african potty under there.Gotta dodge the floaters.Hats off for the idea and the effort though. Leave a donation cup there for future work If the poop pipe can be found , if reported as a potential Cholera hazard to municipalityAs just down river folks shower under the fountain I can "try" have this fixed. Its possible the poop is from shopping center toilets. Send me a private message with pictures and exact area and I see what I can do. As I agree there is fresh poop flowing there.

RockCoach Posted November 8, 2013 Share From chatting to some trail fairies who worked on this... They seem to think that the smell comes from the water vegetation growing around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieT Posted November 11, 2013 Share Last Thursday there was no smell when I went through. Maybe it's random pedestrians just pop in for a poop!Also remember that there are squatters further up the spruit towards Emmerentia Dam and water also comes in from the Roosevelt Park golf club stream, where there are also squatters.It's a difficult one to fix...

Joe Low Posted November 11, 2013 Share NSBB - Taliban Pete doesn't ride the spruit. Well he has occasionally, but only under duress It's crap, in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenGraham Posted November 11, 2013 Share Just wanted to add that I took this little detour on my ride on Saturday and it was far better than having to cross the road. I enjoyed the ride a whole lot more due to one less road crossing and its quite neat the way the trail is cut into the bank on the other side of the culvet. Wanted to say thanks.

Leave a donation cup there for future work The Fairy has started a donation account and quite a bit has already come in. He is currently in the process of using these funds to have a worker maintain the spruit and build new trails once a week.

Guest notmyname Posted November 14, 2013 Share Anybody rolled on the spruit this morning? Last nights storm was a corker so much so they've closed wittkoppen at paulshof. Did this work of wonder make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted November 14, 2013 Share I was forced to take cover from the storm on the way home last night at Victory Park centre. I had a look at the flood water going under the bridge and from what I could see, the metal grid was still firmly in place. Granted, it was dark and the street lights did not throw much light on the raging stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
