Apparently Kliprug is out i.e. the trail that was closed down due to a rude mtb'er abusing the land owner a while back. So is the route being shortened or will we be diverted, anyone know or Wessel care to divulge?

Kliprug is on, as per Mat at Meerendal

With you on this one, Milky. Had a very interesting chat with a person in the know this evening.

Let's just say that Saturday's routes is going to be "interesting" to say the least.

If i remember correctly no permission was asked & when asked it was denied, i speak under correction, its the same trail which TMTBC lost due to an arrogant mtb'er, so i'm assuming the farmer is still standing by his stance that no mtb'ers on his land.

Weird story. Its been more than a year, would that trail even be still usable for a race if it wasn't maintained? At least there are alternatives.

Doubt very much it would still be useable.

 

Ja, it seems a lot was taken for granted, or not taken into consideration at all.

We'll see tomorrow morn what was salvaged.
