Raydek Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Ha ha, if you swim there with the current water temperature of the dam, you have bigger problems than being a triathlete :-) Just kidding!Lol... Thats what the suit is for! DJR 1
Eddy Gordo Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Well at least its a start for now, yay for weekday rides popcorn_skollie and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
marko35s Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Well at least its a start for now, yay for weekday ridesUnfortunately not. After a meeting today the picture is somewhat clearer, but not one that is going to get SANParks heading up anybody's Christmas Card list. Silvermine East is opening on 1st September, so you are good to go if you want to hike, walk the dog etc. Silvermine West (the bit we are interested in) is only scheduled to open again on 1st December. So while parks were telling us Silvermine would be open from September they conveniently forgot to mention it wasn't the part you can actually ride in. They are good like that...If anything changes we will let everybody know. And yes I am pissed off too. NixM and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2

marko35s Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I'm happy, that's the bit of the mountain I hike from home on. can wait another 3 months for the bike.I enjoy hiking there too but they were somewhat disingenuous when telling a bunch of mountain bikers that Silvermine would be open in September, knowing full well the cycling section would remain closed.

Eddy Gordo Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Is there any chance of negotiating a section for mtb?
porqui Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I think we need to take SANParks to the constitutional court. popcorn_skollie 1
