Sports Certified Dietitian Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Had a nice ride there on Saturday. Chatted to one of the managers who confirmed new route signs going up today (Monday) weather permitting. .. at least its a start... Good to hear. Positive stuff!
schizo Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Well the weather isn't great today, but hopefully this week they can get the signage up
Grey Hubs Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 What's the chance of someone smoothing the first drop-off at the start to the course (just before the climb on tar)?For the inexperienced like me, it's a bit nervous navigating those rutts...

They have in the recent past, but I think water runoff causes erosion and the rutts develop even further.
Sports Certified Dietitian Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 My hat will come off to anyone that has done Modderfontein since Monday morning. Bet it is as muddy as ...modderfontein!
Tornado tom Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 hells bells but modder is a mudpatch at the moment
MK Killer Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Im pretty sure most of the trails out there in Gauteng are drenched at the moment

Eldron Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Modders was already slushy before the last two weeks of London weather. Must be mudhell now. I feel bad for the guys trying to refurbish the place - the weather gods arenot playing fair!

Uni Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 They built a bridge ages ago to avoid folk having to go down the steep slope.so i am allowed to go down on the bridge? I do that now but i always sheepishly move off when someone comes up as i thought it was one way. one day I'll get someone to disconnect my brakes and tackle that slope but for now bridge it is.
Eldron Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 so i am allowed to go down on the bridge? I do that now but i always sheepishly move off when someone comes up as i thought it was one way. one day I'll get someone to disconnect my brakes and tackle that slope but for now bridge it is. I also thought the bridge was one way for those finishing the ride... Thought it was built when they cut out the last 1km "round the dam" section. Either way - like all things in life - it'll work fine as a two way unless "I have right of way" twats get involved.
Wez-O Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Modders was already slushy before the last two weeks of London weather. Must be mudhell now. I feel bad for the guys trying to refurbish the place - the weather gods arenot playing fair!I was thinking just this! It must be a swampland by now
schizo Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Any updates on the restaurant? Thumbs up for the signage, glad to hear it is in now.
Joe Low Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 so i am allowed to go down on the bridge?

Eissh, that drop at the start is the hardest thing in the park - never thought bridge would be for one way & not had probs going that way; I just take it as the way in and out.

I'm with you on that one!!! A bit of work grading the surface and that drop would be a lot of fun to start the course!
