Constantia Greenbelt Trail news and updates

[AdrianDJ]

So disappointed, all the fun sections have been left out (often running parallel to the legal sections), I see they have left those sections for the walkers, yet i have ridden the trails twice now since the signage has gone up and there are tons of walkers on the riding/walking side and ZERO walkers on the walking only sections. 

 

Its a start i realise but still a little disappointed.

so how much dog k@k is there on these trails? This is the mink and manure belt after all and we all know those larneys don't stoop to pick up doggie do-do.

Only came across a frog on the path...

If you link the different trails, how far (long) a ride can it turn into?

 

Anybody willing to organise a ride day and show us chaps from the other side of the "Curtain" around?

No crocs are allowed on the green belt - it is Constantia after all!

yeah. It's a lekker little route. It may be a little longer than that, as I'm only guesstimating. I normally cut it short to get home one of 2 routes, and by the time I get home, it's 19.8km or something and I've done the bits south of Peddlars. We'll see on sunday though.

I started at Southern Cross Drive just off Rhodes drive, thats the Diep River Trail went through the Bel Ombre Trail just follow the signs through the Silverhurst Trail past Peddlars then took the main road to Tokai, into lower Tokai, across the little bridge onto the cycle path, back up through Strawberry Lane, up Brounger road (past peddlars),retraced my path back to Southern Cross Drive. I did get a bit lost...Garmin showed 24.2km, 375m climbing, 1hr16 min.
