karlvand Posted December 2, 2013 Share While riding the cradle this weekend I noticed that a awesome looking new trail has been cut alongside the R374 going towards the Lion Park.Does anyone know anything about it, start/end points etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdle Posted December 2, 2013 Share Hi. They started building last weekend. The chap who did the Wines to Whales track is overseeing the building. Chatted with him a bit. I think it starts at Something Country, and goes down to the Lhino Park. The plan is to have a loop all the way around past Lanseria, I think. There is an article in the latest Ride Mag. Great to have new stuff and thanks to the organisers. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYWALK Posted December 2, 2013 Share Gauteng Provincial Government who developed the cycle lanes in the cradle, have decided to build the MTB trail. This is great for all of us and at least our tax paying money is going somewhere which is really beneficial. divernick, Bonus, mrbaker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted December 3, 2013 Share The trail follows the road from "Gateway 1" (Kloofzicht) to "Gateway 2" (Lanseria side)? What's the point if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByronH Posted March 22, 2014 Share So i went to visit the official website for this MTB route...http://cradlemtb.wordpress.com/trail-map/ I'm battling to understand something... once you reach the Kloofzicht lodge from the R374, do you turn left at the circle, or do you carry on over the circle towards Kloofzicht lodge?

I saw signs saying please dont use the trail until officially open. By the way hows the wife enjoying the Merida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronH Posted March 22, 2014 Share Hey Ivan! Thanks for the reply, i'll keep my eyes peeled for when it opens up. She has thoroughly enjoyed the Merida But she's 5 months preg at the moment, so taking a little break.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
