clauderoux Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Yes, that too please! Thanx. We will be about 4 riders
Pure Savage Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Yes, that too please! Thanx. We will be about 4 riders The wannabees trails can get you there 80% of the way I think. There membership is dirt cheap as well. I am just not sure where you are supposed to keep all these bike boards you are supposed to display!! Going to end up needing a flip file on the front of your bike! clauderoux and Super Sywurm 2

Joining up with friends who live there, so membership is out of the question. Maybe we'll just ride on the R44 on the shoulder or as close to the dravel next to the tar Edited September 12, 2014 by clauderoux

Other than that there are no other public gravel roads. Slowbee 1
Big JD Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 You can get a day permit somewhere, but without that there is no way of legally getting to the Bosch off-road. Slowbee 1

Maybe we'll just ride on the R44 on the shoulder or as close to the dravel next to the tar and this is how a fight starts ... but why would you not pay membership to ride on trails maintained by a club ? do you pay fees to ride at tokai ? and I live here, but I think the tar road is your best option. EDIT: would you also pay to get into Jonkershoek?
deanbean Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 I'm going to be in SW over Xmas so am also interested. Is there an online map of the roads.

EDIT: would you also pay to get into Jonkershoek?Hasn't there been security issues on the road Slowbee. Also I don't mind paying, but not annual fees for a 2 week stay. koukie 1
fandacious Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 You can get a day pass from the BP at the Lord Charles, then head off through the farms. Other than that there are no other public gravel roads. only the bike shops do the day pass now

EDIT: would you also pay to get into Jonkershoek?You missing the point, he is not here all the time. It does not make sense paying the annual fee and then only use the trails for the time he is here.

Pure Savage Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hasn't there been security issues on the road Slowbee. Also I don't mind paying, but not annual fees for a 2 week stay. Its only R150 for a membership after 1 July. Therefore if you ride 5 times in Dec thats only R30 buck a roo's a ride. But lets me honest, on holiday gonna be out on the bike at least 9/14 days so its even more of a deal. Get it done!
Pure Savage Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 only the bike shops do the day pass now Oh, after 3 rides at R45 bucks a pop I gave in and got a bike board. Have managed to ride enough to make it work out to R9 per ride, so not so bad. Was rather nice having the day pass where most of the rides start....
