scubes Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2015/02/10/scenic-reserve-left-to-ruin "The reserve, which boasts a number of bird and animal species and which draws hikers to its scenic trails, was closed to the public on January 26 after management said it could not guarantee the safety and health of visitors."

Thank youI can show you some hills in the south that will make SBR look like a flat route - bring the granny gear and lots of time.
Davedk Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 no its not open, I phoned and got thru yesterday, the lady wasn't particularly forthcoming with info, just a solid no. where did all the animals that were in the reserve go? surely they weren't all poached so quickly. There were tons when I live in Heidelberg in 2013, now I rode past on the road we always used to see them (by the vlei) and there was one. I lived in h'berg for a year and didn't even ride it once, now I really want to......
rad006 Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Its a conspiracy I tell you, there must be a Area 51 there... As how can a Whole Amazing resort just close down as well?
Patchelicious Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Well in all honesty, if you just pitch up who will be there to stop you riding? Gov cant "guarantee my safety" on my own driveway!
EugeneS Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Well in all honesty, if you just pitch up who will be there to stop you riding? Gov cant "guarantee my safety" on my own driveway!I pitched up about 3 weeks ago hoping to get in for a ride but the uniformed guards (sitting around, doing nothing) were quite firm in their refusal to let me in. And I tried both entrances...

EugeneS Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Did you try the standard Obi line? "These are not the cyclists you are looking for.." *waves R20 note..... I did not as I am an amateur at the bribing business (and virtually everything else in life) but I did consider it.

Jay_B Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I can show you some hills in the south that will make SBR look like a flat route - bring the granny gear and lots of time. Gerald can you share which hills you are referring to?The best I can find riding from Meyerton side is to go into Mulbarton area but there is no real length to the climbs there
Popit Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Rumour has it that SBR will be re-opened on Friday 1 May .
