How are the trails standing up to more riders using it and what happened to the gopro footage of the whole trail??
CleatsnCleavage Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Keen to ride one of these trails on Saturday but as doing the Boekart Soenen on Sunday I dont want to hurt my (freshly massaged) legs. Anyone know the various trails' ascent?

Anyone know the various trails' ascent? I always access from the Mountain side where endomondo says the ascent is 560m. The FM Tower in the mountain is quite high (higher than the top point of the RBK trail). Guestimate would be about 450m if you start from RBK. Spin it out and enjoy the downhill sections, you should be sufficiently amped post ride for the next days event ;]

SeaBee Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Hey Louis, stupid question... the last time I came from the reserve was aaaages ago as part of a PMTB group ride. Since then I've ridden from the bottom.Are there any route markers from the reserve? I know exactly where to enter from the reserve roads and felt like riding down there plenty of times, but do not want to upset the land-owners if I inadvertently take a wrong turn. Yes, I do have an annual permit, not a roofkyker!Will just add great benefit to me if I can approach it from there and "exit" the mountain via Rheboks...

Coming from the tower you turn right about 3km past the tower. Go around the side of the gate and then all the way straight and you will see the signs to turn into the singletrack. All legal and allowed.

Eddy Gordo Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 this looks awesome, need to try it soon, very soon
emme Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 As the Cave on the single track up is only rideable by the more experienced/technically advanced rider a "chicken-run"will apparently be constructed in the next week or two to bypass the Cave.This will result in a 100m or so shorter and easier single track up to lookout point 1 as well as make the wear and tear on the Cave section less. The S-bend after the Cave,which is also showing signs of serious wear,will be reconstructed/bypassed to become more user friendly to the average mountainbiker. Looking forward to the upgrades!
NicoBoshoff Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Will general cleaning be done as well? The trail is becoming overgrown quite a bit which pushes you to the right of the trail.
NicoBoshoff Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Also, why not leave the existing trail an just add the easier lines. Would be a shame if Rhebokskloof became completely dumbed down (it's hardly technical as it is).
cpelser Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Took my wife there about three weeks ago, but there was a Nedbank event on, so had to go and ride Welvanpas.We're amped to come through to Rhebokskloof sometime as well though. Would it be worthwhile to wait until some more rain has fallen so that the tracks can be fixed up a bit? We ride Meerendal, Bloemendal and Majik very often and at the moment they're quite loose, don't want the wife to fall
