Yes, correct Suikerbos closed as previously guys mentioned.

 

I also confirmed with my boss as he hikes there every Sunday, so unfortunately yet another place been stuffed up by incompetent officials..

I was told by someone that "just because its closed doesn't mean the roads are gone..........."

So maybe we can still get in and ride, just got no facilities at all. He didn't elaborate on his statement.

Can some one confirmed this? Starting to get withdrawal symptoms, need to get my fix.

Beeld newspaper today has a promotional cover glowing with the Gauteng government's plans from 2015 to 2020. Billions for this billions for that . Grandiose projects all over the province including the so called Southern corridor.

But a resort that was in pristine condition with chalets , a hotel , pool , camping facilities etc. etc. is left to rot . It makes no sense.

BUMP

 

Any updates on the closure of suikerbos reserve, anyone been able to ride there recently?

 

Its closed, my old running club is supposed to be hosting an ultra marathon there on 22 March and I got an email from them saying the event is off due to the reserve being closed and the management of the reserve would not make exceptions even though the club would have provided temporary toilet and water facilities.
