FASST Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys How safe is it to ride at northern farms these days ? Edited January 2, 2014 by FASST
Nalith Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 We have been riding there for the past month and it seems quite safe. I would not recommend riding alone though.
rouxtjie Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Inside the farm...no probs. Would even say a solo ride is 100% safe But outside the farm, like a radius of 5km....no go zone. Hi-jack hotspot of note. Farms get a bad rep due to guys getting jacked on their way there from the houses. WrightJnr 1
WrightJnr Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I've ride there once a week, never had a single problem, ever. Yes there has been the odd incident but many of the ones I heard were not actually on the farm. People refer to that whole area sometimes as Northern Farms so I thinks it's got the wrap for more than it deserves. My wife and 10 year old boy ride there too. They feel safe. Stick to the marked routes and you should be fine. IMO
FASST Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks guys. Rode there today and loved it !! We going back tomorrow !!
FASST Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Yea I ride Rietvlei and Thaba all the time
PURE Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Inside NF is safe, I generally ride it alone, early mornings tons of other riders.Late afternoon its empty but still safe.
WrightJnr Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I was there today too. Got hot pretty early!!!
