There is a DH track - and its pretty gnarly!

 

Some MASSIVE road gaps with no real B-lines ... and friss mad rock gardens ...

 

Issue is you need permission to ride that track as you cant shuttle it in an open back van as Sappi wont allow it for safety reasons.

 

The top of the track AFAIK is overgrown, but the lower portion should be clear ... But again that is out towards the Outback Trails and that section is closed at the moment.

 

When did they close that side? We were out there just over a week ago and shuttled to ride Jewits jive and Rene's rumble :whistling:

The Outback Trails (60km out towards Lebanon ... and the Enduro Stuff) is off limits at the moment due to road building or something in the forests that the trails are in .... will be open by May though so not to worry.

 

 

Some of the best trail are out that side in my opinion. Rene's Rumble?! yes?!

Hi guys and girls,

 

I am making my way to KZN in the next couple months for business and as always am taking my MTB along with for the trip... I am wanting to find out if the Karkloof trails are as good as the media make them out to be???

 

I also want to find out if it is worth making a trip down on the weekend of the 10-11 May 2014 for the race as this has had a lot of positive hype too?

Yes. Come and ride them, you won't regret it. Let us know when you're down - there's always some of us riding and will be keen to take you around.

Note - there's extensive road works taking place on this side of the trails, making these temporarily unridable. Stick to the 30km, 20km, 10km, 15km falls loop or XCO trails for now.
