Guest Smimby Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Sorry you have got to be Sh****ng me !!!!The land they were riding on (if all info is correct) is private property, so ONLY club members are allowed to use it. The landowners said that they want to be able to easily see a membership board to identify people riding on their land as club members so riding the trail without your board creates beeeeg issues with the landowner.
popcorn_skollie Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 At tokai, the baboons are shot with airguns instead of cameras...just saying
MeridaHFS Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 They were riding up the concrete road which has clearly been sign posted from the bottom entrance as prohibited. No cycling allowed - not even road bikes. With all the blind corners it becomes very dangerous for cars coming up or down let alone adding bikes to the equation. We've been warned numerous times about now riding on this road. They were trespassing and knowingly as well thus their pics should be posted on a cycling forum..

milky4130 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Hmmm...is the emblem on the long sleeve rider's riding shorts a yellow Africa depiction? As in: ENS_AFRICA_ICON.jpg Because if it is, I know who that is. Used to be my boss.wow so sad & this is what it boils down to "bosses" people riding +50k bikes & can't even pay a small fee for club membership let alone obey the Riding rules that's the least you could've done as a rogue rider!!
Mojoman Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Got the same problems here in Magalies on certain sections of the trails....how do you stop them?
nox1111 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 same thing at Jonkershoek - the guys sneaking in are the guys riding the fully specced bikes - can spend R60 - R80k on the mountie, but not the R25 permit fee.You don't see people sneaking into Golf courses, playing a sneaky 18 holes. If you don't want to pay course fees you can take your PW to the park and muck about there, or pay R10 for a putt-putt game. Same with MTB in my opinion, if you don't want to pay the permit fees, there are plenty of dirt roads around, that won't cost you a cent.
Barry Stuart Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Judging by the sleeveless top I'm going to hazard a guess that guy is called Byron. Boet.
Ryan100 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I rode Hillcrest on the weekend. Saw 3 guys riding there Canondale Lefties, S works shoes the whole trip, no boards. sorry I couldnt remember if you could get a day pass for Hillcrest, I checked now and see you cant. Not sure what I could have done, 3 big guys vs 1!! I did have a picture in my mind of a knife through the wheel and a long walk home for some!! I dont get it. Its someone elses property, they say you can use it on the following conditions. Really not rocket science
Guest Smimby Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 As far as I know there is an honesty box at Hillcrest?
Bloukrans Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Name and Shame! I can also offer the one oke a contact of mine at weigh less
Skubarra Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 As far as I know there is an honesty box at Hillcrest? AFAIK used to, not anymore - no daily permits anymore for Hillcrest
milky4130 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 As far as I know there is an honesty box at Hillcrest?false, it's been communicated numerous times in the newsletter & Fb group that it is members only, more than a year now.
Guest Smimby Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 false, it's been communicated numerous times in the newsletter & Fb group that it is members only, more than a year now.hmm you see there is the problem....not on the FB group and don't subscribe to the newsletter. Maybe they should send important info like that too ALL email addresses on their database....
