Anyone coming to Howick Trails to check out what you will be riding (and maybe get some sneaky practice in for the race) please note the following : 

 

- The course is not yet set(in fact, its secret and wont be set till a few hours before the event)

- You riding the set course blind..no practice prior too or on the day

- If you are not an annual member of Howick MTB Club then please ensure you have paid your trail fee AND have a day indemnity. If you are a annual member please display your board. If you don't you are trespassing and will be escorted from the trails and banned from the event. This is non-negotiable

- Trail Fee/Day indemnity is available at the honesty boxes at Crusty Corner (Greendale Center), Howick Hospital and Howick Cycles. Crusty Corner and Howick Hospital both have SnapScan QR codes as a payment facility if you go there after hours. Trail fee is R40 per person, per day

- NO shuttling is allowed. Ever. You will be banned and any un-authorized vehicles found in the forest will have their tyres deflated

- It is very dry out in the forests and if the FDI for the day is orange or red then the trails will be closed. 

- No helmet, no ride (no brain)

Hi all - the Turvey's in Karkloof also have B&B facilities to sleep up to 6 people. Very close to both Howick trails and literally a short pedal to onto the Karkloof trails. Competitive rates, awesome spot with a private waterfall and swimming hole ;) Please contact anita@dekosa.co.za for information or bookings.
