AdeleG75 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Has anyone been to Avianto since the re-launch of the trails? Any good? Distance and difficulty? Have some new riders in the group, will they be able to ride the trails?
Pieter1 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Not sure of the distance but it is fun. If they are new to riding just stay off of the black.
GrantRH Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Is this not basically the Eqstra route? That is a tough little 45kms!!
ValeYellow Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Rode there last week Sunday. Absolutley loved it, nice fast single track and some good technical climbs. From what I could work out, if you are wanting to get in a 32km ride, you basically do a second lap? Depending on your riding abaility, and if you are a confident rider, with a decent level of bike control, I highly reccommend you do the black trail as well. It offers some nice technical climbs (I am not a fan of this, but I put up with it cause I know that what goes up, well, must come down ) but the downhill sections really made it for me, lots of rock garden sections, drop-offs, and some tricky switchbacks (I loved it so much, I bought a tiny piece of real estate while I was there ). Having said the above, there are alternative shorter routes which will cater for the perhaps less skilled rider. Head on out, you wont regret it......
AdeleG75 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks. Sounds like fun and seems like the newer riders can stick to one route and the rest of us can go have some technical fun Will try it out on Sat
Andymann Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Went there on Friday afternoon last week and there was no-one to be seen before the ride, so I'm afraid to say I rode as a rogue rider. Went back after my ride to buy a beer and pay, and there was still no-one to be found. Is there anywhere I can go to pay for last week, and also to buy a month pass, or are the trails closed in the week?

RocknRolla Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 If you go across the little wooden bridge to the wedding venue side, you can pay at the reception, then at least you will not be fired upon by the residents if they catch you rogue riding....ok, i'm kidding about the shooting part. The "bar area" is only manned on weekends.
Circuit Breaker Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Can anyone please give me directions how to get to this Avianto?

geomark Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 In Muldersdrift on the R114, just off the N14, between Riverstone Lodge and Kloofzicht Lodge on the edge of the Cradle Co ords -26.025044, 27.837299
Circuit Breaker Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks Geomark and Pusher, I will definitely go there next Saturday. Is that the only trail in that area?
dalem44 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks Geomark and Pusher, I will definitely go there next Saturday. Is that the only trail in that area?No, Heia Safari is close by as well as Owl River on the Lanseria road.If you would like to know of some routes in the area, contact myself or Dorpie here on the Hub
Circuit Breaker Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks Dalem44. You can give me the directions to those trails any time. I just finished the Avianto with my kids, and I think they enjoyed it more than I do. My youngest is 6 and we did the White trail and after that me and my eldest (he is 12) did the green trail.. It really was a perfect way to spend a Saturday. Can you maybe also give me directions how to get to the trails at the Cradle?

But they currently run parallel to the Cradle road cycling route, starting at the circle by Kloofzicht Lodge, towards the Lion Park, but don't yet complete the full cradle route loop.
