Meezo Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 (Posting here as there are 1.5 miljoen jonkers threads) Can Anybody tell me what is the earliest one can go ride Jonkers on a Saturday?The minister of home affairs has to be there at 7am for something so was thinking she drop me off and I ride while she does her thing.. So don't want sit in the car park like a weirdo waiting for it to open...7am is fine!
Rock Guy Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Any news on the protests in Jonkershoek? We had the unpleasant experience of getting turned around at the bottom of Lanzerac last weekend after driving through from Durbanville. Don't want the same to happen this weekend.

Don't want the same to happen this weekend.I would also like to know - was quite miffed when I rocked up there Sat morning getting the news. Ended up riding Helderberg then.
dannygirl Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Was quiet all week (we live near HS Stellenbosch so get regular updates on activities through the neighbourhood watch). Unfortunately it seems that they always pick weekends to protest... The protest action last weekend turned very violent, and a family up in the valley lost their house and all their belongings when it was petrol-bombed...so having to turn around is a relatively minor inconvenience! Just a heads up that Ride Inn is also closed at the moment (until 4 August I think).

I went to go ride Boschendal instead, which turned out to be a great call. totally scenic and they have new section of trail that's loads of fun, think its called the Bull and Chicken or something like that. Very nice.

Nick Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 On a side note, anyone knows what's happening with yearly permits? I've been waiting for 6 weeks now for them to print it.
@grootlem Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Last week they were waiting on a lint for the printer from Pretoria
Rock Guy Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 On a side note, anyone knows what's happening with yearly permits? I've been waiting for 6 weeks now for them to print it.Maybe that's what the protest is about. People upset about not getting their permits. Seriously though. I've also been waiting at least a month now.
ABrooks Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 We went last Sunday after the protests and had a blast in Jonkers, it seems like the protests are mainly on a Saturday. It would be best to call ahead if you plan on travelling to Jonkershoek.
mxjunke Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 What's the day fee to ride at Jonkershoek at the moment?
