GLuvsMtb Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Tokai - FUBAR, Jonkers - FUBAR. Oak Valley - No Access due to Epic. What now?this is bigger than the loss of a few mountain biking trails. Yes, its sad that the time and money invested in these trails will never be recovered, but far more is at stake here right now. Perhaps go try out Rheebokskloof or go ride Botlary Hills or some of the Tygerberg Mtb trails for a while?
popcorn_skollie Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Not Eden/G-Spot also..... Lets wait on confirmation before we run away with this. I've been fearing it since yesterday.Its too close to Jonkers not to be in potential danger.

Velouria Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 G-Spot and Eden seem ok, although there is heavy smoke.
