sawystertrance Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I took a quick vid of NeverEnding on Saddy. The fire damage is ugly but it is still a great ride. Here it is: http://youtu.be/VQb14fuagMY
Gunu Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Went for a ride in Jonkershoek today - great in spite of the blackened surroundings. But chatting to the guys at the gate and some of the forestry guys I am concerned that there is a real risk of Jonkershoek being closed completely until harvesting is finished because some people just don't want to toe the line. They are having to put more people on site just to manage guys that insist they can ride where they like. The contractors that do the harvesting stand to lose their contracts if they have serious injuries related to their operations - this would put them out of business completely. If it's too difficult to manage the only way they can deal with it is close it completely. In the words of the guys at the gate "men behaving like children!". So my plea is this:- Stay out of the no go areas- if it's taped off, turn around- even if it's not taped off but there are harvesting operations or loading operations don't try and get past, turn around.

sawystertrance Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Yes and on the lower section some of the smaller pines even have green shoots at the top. I think, though, that they will all come out. I'm sure the place will start to look OK by the end of Winter although it will be very different with no trees. The place where Lower Canary was is flat. Very depressing to see.
sawystertrance Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Latest shot of what's left of the Fire trail. Taken 20 June 2015. So sad..
sawystertrance Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 SNIFF!!!And what's worse - I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of it - is that Lower Canary is just, well, gone.. Sniff, sniff.

Devon Mans Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 http://wpmtb.co.za/According to this link there is a downhill event at Jonkershoek soon! Anyone have more info? Is Jonkershoek open or is it exclusive for this event?
Devon Mans Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted this on another Jonkershoek thread as well so sorry for the repost
sawystertrance Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Another video. Not cycling this time but still Jonkers. I saw the rivers were flowing after the rain and thought I'd see how it looked underwater. Hand held but I think it's still cool....

I saw the rivers were flowing after the rain and thought I'd see how it looked underwater. Hand held but I think it's still cool.... well its much nicer that trails going up in flames. When was it taken. What is left to ride?Considering the new DH line for the weekend assuming its open to the public.But a better idea of which trails are actually open and ridable would be nice.
