Hbl Posted August 11, 2015 Share Hey guys, im pretty new to the hub. Riding mostly bmx and mtb half marathons. I want to get involved in the downhill riding here in Gauteng as I moved here from Mpumalanga. Any info will be a huge help! Tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKaiser Posted August 11, 2015 Share Well you're in luck.... Have a look at Wolvespruit in Pretoria East (just off Rigel and the N1). Sounds like it's pretty much what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTBer Posted August 11, 2015 Share Nope, not open. There are issues with the landowners, you can hear the whole story at the race, the guys know everything. We always appreciate a shovel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltazarMarques Posted August 12, 2015 Share Welcome to GP Dude Should be a big group of us going to Wolwespruit on Saturday for a session from around 9am - Pull in. They have a good sized jump line as well as pump track and various other skills bits - Trails too if you want to stretch you legs. We may pop accross the road to 139 after for a quick run or two depending how we go at Wolwe. Like Samurai Pizza Cat said, the event at 139 on August 22nd and 23rd will be a great event to attend. From what I've heard, there will be a bike or two and some kit available if you want to give it a bash and see what it's all about. Check the event here - THE DUSTIN RUDMAN INVITATIONAL And as the others above have already mentioned, def worth joining Mountainbikers do it downhill on facebook to keep in the know - Mountainbikers Do it Downhill Facebook Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbl Posted August 12, 2015 Share Tx Balta, I will def be there 2 check it out. I scoped out 139 today, went to the,culdesac. Is there anywhere safe to park safely during the week, or is the track group only works type of track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hbl Posted August 12, 2015 Share Or do the guys ride whenever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The MTBer Posted August 12, 2015 Share Yeah, jut be careful there is a lot of guys sleeping there, at the top section and bottom section. I wouldn't go alone during the week but yes that is just me. You can ride whenever you want there, but it is always lekker when you are 5-6 guys shredding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
