Hi guys

 

Is it just me or was the trails flooded yesterday?

I did a loop yesterday .....b-spot, Bloemendaaler, Conters and Meerendal and for some reason everywhere i went the trails where flooded with riders.

Could it be from some of the trails in the western cape that could be closed from all the fires?

Its good to see that people love the trails in the Tygerberg area!

I did Hillcrest and Conties. I parked at Hillcrest and didn't see many people, that was until I reached Contermans... It was properly busy. Never seen it quite like that.

Contermans is probably my favourite trail on the whole network. Went for a quick zip around Hooggekraal this morning and it is definitely a close 2nd.

Its not only our trails. We have been to Welvanpas on Saturday. The owner of the restaurant said that he have never seen so many cars and people on one day.

Last sunday afternoon I was on Contermanskloof and Bloemendal, not a single soul on the trails....

 

Till I crested Tygerberg Hill and saw 1000's of people far below at the Epic finale on Meerendal...

With fires & tree felling at Tokai, and Jonkershoek taking fire damage as well (heard today that recovery for Jonkershoek could be as long as 2 years...?) everyone's heading North...

When I reached the top of Dorstberg (Meerendal) there was about 20 other cyclist! Trails are getting quite busy with the closure of J and T.

 

Did manage to see a rooikat aswell!

Hoogekraal has to be #1... Both descents are absolutely epic, in their different ways, but the Cobra is my absolute favourite. You have to hit all the jumps though and do it as fast as you can.

Just hope that all the day visitors are paying at honesty boxes

I caught 4 youngsters on Sunday going up the corridor from Meerendal side to Conters...Needless to say two of them were members, the other two of which one was sporting his green board and the other nothing and yet they claimed to have paid... :cursing: 

 

I politely escorted them down to where they came from and they had to find their way home. Sorry but rules are rules.....

 

So yes i hope that all the day visitors keep with the rules of the club... :thumbup:
