Oh, goodie! It urgently needs resuscitation and serious surgery .

Can't wait to ride it again!

I think there's a lot of people who thought it was open to the public, seeing loads of riders using it since the Epic Prologue.

Nice. What about Meerendal, which has also been somewhat ravaged since the Epic?

I think Meerendal is responsible for their own maintenance and would be covered in the 3 year agreement signed between ACE and Meerendal. Perhaps chat to Meerendal Multi Sport about this?

Nice touch, I'll stop bombarding them with emails, tweets and FB posts about this then!  

 

Nice to see that there is some legacy and responsibility being taken on board for a profitable business. It's a nice gesture, esp with the increased traffic from Tokai, which wasn't anything to do with them. That said the lower single track they mention was torn apart from about 2/3rds into the Prologue esp with all the practicing in the days before. 

 

That PP top track is going to be hard to keep closed. I was up there the other day and there were guys in tackies and polly shorts walking their bike shown and looking a bit shocked. You could see a long line of people following the ACE route and queueing to come down. 

Just a question though. When is maintenance planned and can we ride at the moment? Was actually about to head up as I've had a very ordinary day so far!

This is great to hear!

Would like to do that singletrack again after having 'eaten dirt' (and some fynbos) coming down there during our Prologue (I need closure LOL!)
