Meezo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 lekka! build still happening Saturday, will the AM track be ready come tuesday?
T-Bob Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Awesome. Well done to the Bike Park and Tokaimtb! Just a question though, why did it need a donation for the extra day?
Duane_Bosch Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Awesome. Well done to the Bike Park and Tokaimtb! Just a question though, why did it need a donation for the extra day? Yeah I don't understand either. Is it FREE on Human Rights day? Or does the donation cover the employee overtime cost?
(Deon) Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 lekka! build still happening Saturday, will the AM track be ready come tuesday?Hopefully but maybe not, still needs quite a bit of work.
Hairy Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 would be nice if of that R75 access fee it goes back into the trails?

Yeah I don't understand either. Is it FREE on Human Rights day? Or does the donation cover the employee overtime cost?We have marshals employed over weekends/when Tokai is open to provide early detection for security and also help guide users to the detour. This helps ensure that people are not accidentally straying into the gum compartments which have recently resumed logging, and the safety thing is self explanatory but essential in light of incidents in the past.
(Deon) Posted March 16, 2017 Author Posted March 16, 2017 would be nice if of that R75 access fee it goes back into the trails?Long and winding road comes to mind.. we've tried.
popcorn_skollie Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Cool. I'm definitely in for a ride on tuesday.
JAJA Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Well done. Every extra day counts. Any update on the future of daily full access?
Meezo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Cool. I'm definitely in for a ride on tuesday. well its between this, or the Transition day at Jonkers
popcorn_skollie Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 well its between this, or the Transition day at Jonkers These demo days never work out for me.They only ever bring medium and large frames.No noddy bikes for popcorn sized pinners
T-Bob Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Long and winding road comes to mind.. we've tried. Awesome. Thanks for the deets. Was impressed to bump it to the TokaiMTB ute last Sat am on the way to Cobra trailhead. If I'd not been so darn hot and bored of climbing (aka running out of breath) I would have thanked you guys for all your hard work and efforts over the last couple of years to get us back and riding.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Well done. Every extra day counts. Any update on the future of daily full access?Next question, please... Essentially boils down to cost of keeping marshalls there for the week. As soon as the gums are gone (please go fast!) This shouldn't be a problem anymore...
Duane_Bosch Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 As soon as the gums are gone (please go fast!) This shouldn't be a problem anymore... Who ever thought we'd hope for the day?
