PrinceVlad Posted January 9, 2017 Share Hi Guys Seeing that I am busy with my training for C2T, I am looking for more places to ride. I stay about a 10 minute ride from Big Red Barn and I know it is packed on the weekends, but was wondering whether it is safe to ride there during the week?

TheKaiser Posted January 9, 2017 Share I've never had any issues in the week.... there are usually a few people on the route, more so in the afternoons that the mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvO Posted January 17, 2017 Share Jip, all good, ride BR at least 1 afternoon in the week, usually from 15:00 Wolwespruit is also not bad. Only 15km, but do the route twice and you'll get a reasonable work-out. The climb next to the fence is not for beginners or wobbly legs Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni Posted July 9, 2018 Share Just a heads up .... on Sunday morning a few groups of mostly families were riding when the one guy stopped and we all stopped to see what's up ...there were 2 guys that ran across the field , they had dogs with them and they climbed through the barbed wire fences which had been cut off. My OH think possibly just hunting with the dogs for rabbits and the like ... The guy did mention it to management and I sent a note too, but just be careful.

If management is informed I'm sure they will be on it. They have been very pro active in the past. How are the trails at the moment? I'm keen to go for a ride there but the last time there was significant damage due to fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keen to go for a ride there but the last time there was significant damage due to fires.some parts are black from controlled burns but totally rideable and lots of fun - I don't know about the black diamond sections I don't venture near there but the blue / green routes are great ATM - no mud fest Edited July 9, 2018 by Uni ShanRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that...I wish someone would show me how to get out of the Black diamond section (with the wooden ramps). Finding my way in is easy...finding the way out...I seem to go around and around like a hamster on a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewM3883 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Think there is a trail walk/run on the 14th and 15th... Just called them, apparently still open for Mtb's regardless of the trail runs. Grey Hubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted December 11, 2019 Share Is BRB any good? I'm not asking to be a tit but rather an honest opinion.I mean I live in PTA and have only made an effort once to go and check out the trails over there.This was back in 2013 or somewhere there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not asking to be a tit but rather an honest opinion.I mean I live in PTA and have only made an effort once to go and check out the trails over there.This was back in 2013 or somewhere there Not bad, pretty flat and plenty of criss-crossing but the black diamond sections has plenty of fun sections. If you dont do the black sections (which isnt overly technical) it gets pretty boring IMHO Edited December 11, 2019 by Escapee..

Nice long climb coming back towards the R21 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
