Louzy Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hi guysIm heading out to Welvenpas this weekend, exploring all the trails away from home now that we cant ride Tokai anymore.Ive seen online that I must buy a day pass at either the Adventure Cycles bike shop or the Coffee shop at welvenpas. Does anyone know what time these shops open, whats the earliest i can get onto the trails?Is there anything else I should be aware of while riding these trails?Any advice a Newbie to these trails should know?
VeloRacer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If you are a Tygerberg MTB Club member you don't need a day pass. Also Welvenpas is in a really bad state at the moment after the Epic went through there on friday
NicoBoshoff Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 You can go anytime, but if they are still closed you need to take a "Still to pay" board from the coffee shop and pay upon your return.

Was hoping to go ride the Balck and yellow this weekend.
porqui Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Would also like to know the state of the trail - would it be better to wait till some rain has fallen?
Meezo Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 also keen to head out there saturday, ping ping The Search
NicoBoshoff Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Knowing those trails, I really am doubtful that they'de be smashed, but they were ridden in the wet so maybe.
The Search Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The trails are fine. Bit dry and dusty. Black route is perfect. Can you please go to Bains MTB trails header for any info.
VeloRacer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Do you suspect this or have you been there to confirm the state? Was hoping to go ride the Balck and yellow this weekend. I rode the trail the same day as the Epic. It was very rutted and dusty especially the switchbacks. It needs a bit of rain to "settle" it again. We passed thru the black route
Surv0MTB Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 We bought our day pass at the coffee shop after we rode I think, wasnt open before hand.
cadenceblur Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Guys, I am hoping to ride at Welvenpas over the weekend. How's it looking? My query is around flats or cleats? Want to get the most out of the single tracks, but not sure how "pedally" it is?

NicoBoshoff Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Saturday there will be an Enduro on the White loop and Sunday on the Black. It's very pedally on the up...
cadenceblur Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks Nico, I'm told the singles are very flowy, not technical, (with the exception of the Black Route), so cleats should be cool?
NicoBoshoff Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 NOthing is technical there. Some bits are I guess a bit more technical but they are 50m at most and walkable. The rest is just flowy.
