T-Bob Posted April 25, 2017 Share As I think was also discussed at the AGM, what you (and the rest of us) would like does not fit in with SANParks modus operandi. The real question you and everyone else needs to ask is "Do I want a growing network of trails at Tokai despite TMNP's lack of input? " Yes? Okay, then join the club for a truly negligible amount and help make that a reality. I actually think the R500 for the year is pretty cheap when you look at Tygetberg prices. Yes, I know you get so many farms and loads of trails. I've been a member for a while up north and even when Tokai was shut I didn't ride half of them and only a hand full regularly. So I've got no qualms to match up funds to the general level of other trail networks because I'd love to have more trails up there and support those who are doing the yards for everyone else. Way I look at it is my TMNP pass is that, a TMNP pass not just a Tokai riding permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted April 25, 2017 Share As much as it sucks, I know that none of our fees go towards trail maintenance and this costs money and time. It's for that reason that I help out with trail builds when I can, and means that I would also pay to join a club if I knew that the cash was going directly into the trails. It would be nice if the permit fees went into the trails, but I understand it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just to put it out there.. we really have tried every possible avenue short of going out to tender. Asking the public to contribute was always Plan Z.

Yo-Yo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Hi all, I noticed on the TokaiMTB site that it says that night riding is allowed. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 26, 2017 Share Hi all, I noticed on the TokaiMTB site that it says that night riding is allowed. Is this correct? No. Hours are strictly weekends, according to their summer and winter riding times (7-6 & 8-5) and then when we are able to get special openings like tomorrow. EDIT: Just seen that the site stipulates this. Yes, there's a separate tab for night riding, but it ALSO says that night riding isn't available until further notice. As does the landing page.

(Deon) Posted April 26, 2017 Share Hi all, I noticed on the TokaiMTB site that it says that night riding is allowed. Is this correct? Night riding won't be available for some time still, we are working on it but we can't see it being possible while we still have limited/weekend only access. A note was published to the page on the site, marked with asterisk (*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Thanks!If you want to get an annual pass and the office is shut (Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) I got mine at Kirstenbosch at the tourist office. No. Hours are strictly weekends, according to their summer and winter riding times (7-6 & 8-5) and then when we are able to get special openings like tomorrow. EDIT: Just seen that the site stipulates this. Yes, there's a separate tab for night riding, but it ALSO says that night riding isn't available until further notice. As does the landing page. I was fairly sure it wasn't allowed but it wasn't 100% clear. Thanks for clarification and well done on getting access tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
