HowardSteele Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 Any updates on this ???Has it been approved yet?Are we still set for December Silvermine Dam opening ??Need safe places to ride urgently ! Pleeeeez.Nothing yet on when the Greenbelt trails will be officially opened ....But the pedal power ass are actively involved with the projects initiation.No confirmation on the Silvermine opening to Mtnbikers...With fires in Noordhoek,Ocean view over the past 2 weeks and today on the Simonstown mountains...I really wouldn't be surprised if they delay it until next year winter.
i24 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I have not heard any official announcement yet, but I noticed this sign today. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Bloukrans Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Woooooohooooooo!Can we access it from Lower Tokai? Where does it start?
Tatt Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 You can head up Ou Wa Pad - did it yesterday, it is still a *** climb! Pay your R65 at the hut and peddle the tar road up to the car park. Tom
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Can we access it from Lower Tokai? Where does it start?Not sure of the extent of the approval, but yes. At the lower corner, where if you're riding clockwise there's a bridge on your left... you go over that bridge and then right. At the time junction, left. Then you'll see the path branching off on the rhs of the permanent pathway. That's the start of it from the tokai side. Not sure where that sign is above though.
HowardSteele Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 I have not heard any official announcement yet, but I noticed this sign today. :clap: :clap: :clap: just the one sticker up,i checked for other on this afternoons ride ...ironically the stretch where I've had no negative reaction from walkers and dog owners.Holding thumbs its the start and not just a tease.

On my way back on the same single track, noticed a sign on the opposite side of the road - no cycling! Only ride where we are allowed to ride Any other off road route options in that area?

Edge_Design Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I see on Facebook there is a 12 month trial period and the trails should be marked and open by 31 Jan.
