T-Bob Posted December 17, 2015 Share Is that based off part of the epic prologue route? The course in stellies is awesome and if it has ambitions to be that good then R200 is f-all for a year when you consider the issues of table mountain at the moment and the cost to ride there. Muggings a have been an issue, most is average jeep track and the couple of single track sections you're allowed to ride are blown out badly by shear numbers. There are other nice bits of trail but you're not allowed to ride and rogue endangers the good work done by many in the community. The other woman is one as are a couple around the 'mem. Honestly I think I spent more on bread, milk and cheese and a couple of snags at woollies today.

We've added a lot to the track since then, it is pretty much unrecognisable to what was ridden in March It'll take time to get it to the level of Stellies, but that is the long term goal we have!

zerocalves Posted January 12, 2016 Share I came across this course the other day after coming off the mountain at the boom just down the road from Rhodes Mem heading towards the exit. I took a ride back towards Rhodes Mem and sure enough the hole in the fence is still there, so i went on from that side, not realising that it was not supposed to be a free ride. I rode it backwards I guess but either way I think its really cool.Happy to pay the R 200, but to say that there is only one entrance via UCT is not currently correct.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC29 Posted January 12, 2016 Share We are aware of the new hole in the fence that has been made and it will be sealed within the week Please note that cutting a hole in the fence is vandalism and any guilty parties will be prosecuted by UCT. It seems there will always be people who are not prepared to either ride up through campus or students who aren't prepared to walk a bit further down to the purpose built gate/bridge. It is frustrating that this happens, but for future reference, there is only one LEGAL entrance to the track.

Freex Posted January 17, 2016 Share Hi. To my disappointment the hole in fence was padlockked. Looks like the notice was ripped away.So I am glad to read the deveopments regarding the new status on the forum. I am TMB member so I don't need to pay the annual subsrcription. Could someone please answer my questions.Is there a online indemnity form? Is my TMB card sufficient for the trail police. Coming from the top where is the best place to get into UCT.

As per GC29 15 Dec 2015All you have to do is get the indemnity from Robert, fill it out and give it to him and collect a UCT Cycling Club sticker to put on your TMB permit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
