MTB rides West Coast / Northern Suburbs, CT

As far as I can remember the pro-rata fee also only kicked in from October. I know since that was when I joined. I also was of the thought that the fees were a bit on the high side. But now that I bit the bullet, it is worth every cent and more.

I don't recall the exact date for 2014 but discounts will be available around end July / August. The discount is not completely pro-rated as we have commitments to paying the land owners.

Need help!

 

I'm looking for any MTB group rides in the West Coast area or Northern Subs, Cape Town. I feel that the Tygerberg MTB club membership fees are a bit steep considering no pro-rata payment available until the end of the year but am willing to join a club if the rates are reasonable.

 

Otherwise, looking for lekker trails to ride that are safe and open to non-members.  

 

Thanks!

 

Bottelary Hills has 60 km of routes with 20 km of single track. Day pass is R50.,  Annual pass is R500 and should drop to R350 or R300 in July (still to be decided).

I can highly recommend the annual fee's for Tygerberg trails, since you will make up the amount in a very short space of time. If you ride from Hoogekraal over to Contermans and then over to Meerendal, that would cost you R120.00 for all three farms, PLUS, you will NOT be allowed to use the corridors, so a LOT of tar would be involved in that route. Hence the justification for riding as a club member.

 

To me, the BIGGEST reason I joined, is knowing that Patrick and his trail gnomes are going to be out over the next few months building new awesomeness and fixing and maintaining existing trails using the well deserved funds that come from our membership fees. Without these fine gents being willing to slog it out in the heat, and now rain, on our behalf, we won't have any decent trails to ride. It kind of makes up my mind for me really.

 

So, if you feel that a membership fee is too much to justify riding some really spectacular trails ( parts of which are members only - and those are the best parts ), well then, you can always go ride Koeberg...for free

 

Hahaha thanks, yeah I've tried Koeberg but to be honest....those  bugs scare me!

Thanks for all the replies guys, guess Tygerberg membership is the answer then, will wait until Jul/Aug for a bit of discount

Good decision . drop me a PM if you want to go for a guided loop, easy pace style. Those climbs are harsh leg busters...
