Tokai mountain bike trails reopen to the public

[Eddy Gordo]

No real need as the "after 16.00 hrs" rule is about entry to the picnic area.

If you park elsewhere and ride in you are fine.

We wanted to park in the road, and they kinda got upset with us. hmmm, maybe park around the stop street area then

So what is the official low-down on this stupid 16:00 rule. Are you now allowed to go for a quick session and be out by 18:00 or what?

There are valid reasons for the rule regarding the brain area.

Also in fairness the staff on duty there start at 6am and it would be a bit unfair if they had to stay later because somebody was late back to the parking area.

[Eddy Gordo]

Yes, all fair, but dont they lock the gates? How would you get out of the old parking area?

Braai area makes complete sense yes. Good to know that you can still go for a quick ride though.

so for december

17/18

24/25

31

 

seems like a good way to kick off your new years bash!

 

and then 365 of 2017?

 

 

That's a sore point - don't poke it too much, please....

 

We were initially given an "official opening" date of end december, which we obviously swallowed with gay abandon, and it was never changed / denied / adjusted in any of our talks with Parks. But that seems to have been a rather loose "december" and it's looking to ACTUALLY be sometime in the first quarter of the new year. Principal holdup is the continued (but delayed) logging in certain areas, and the reinstitution of their public liability cover (of which AMA Rider is providing their own in lieu of until end May) 

 

So. the short answer. Probably not. But I hope so. I dearly, dearly hope so. As well as the revision of that stupid rule that the guards seem to have of limiting entry to before 16h00 ONLY, so that "riders have enough time to get out before 18h00"

 

I want sunrise till sunset, I do.
