Kyalami Area MTB Routes

[vgb]

This is a request to all MTB riders (including myself) that enjoy riding the many trails in the Kyalami AH area, including Inanda Country Base, Riversands, Inanda Fields, Meadow Farm, Helderfontein, Sun Valley, Beaulieu and Blue Hils.

 

As more and more mtb'ers ride through the area and as the groups grow in size, I am picking a growing frustration from the landowners and residents in the area. We all need to start doing the following:

 

- slow down when riding past horses, ideally ring a bell or whistle so the rider knows you are coming

- never ride into an area that has a closed gate, no buts just don't do it. The gate is closed for a reason.

- when you see them, greet the landowner and thank them for letting you pass through their property

- never litter or leave punctured old tubes in the veld

- limit your group size to max ten riders, ideally five

- don't stop and picnic on private property!

 

If we dont change our behaviour very quickly, don't be surprised if the landowners in the area start putting up fences to prevent us for enjoying the open spaces. We will only have ourselves to blame.

 

If anyone wants further information feel free to pm me and we can discuss offline.
