Anybody riding trails in and around Benoni, would love to know where you ride. Im getting a little board with riding at Modderfontien Northern Frms etc. Looking for some off road riding in my neck of the woods. Please, new off road trails, Ive also spent a lot of time on the Benoni country club trail.

 

Many thanks......

Chat to the guys at Bicycle Line they have regular outrides, Finish Line in Glen Marais have a trail just off Monument Road and there is also a trail at Jet Park (part of Emperors route)

Ebotse Golf Estate has a MTB track. Speak to Activize cycling club, Pain Cave as well as Bicycle Line. Between them there are various group rides leaving a different times & places in Benoni. I'm sure you will easily slot into a group that meets your skill level & drinking habits. :D

I have been asking about this area as well . So the Jet Park Emperors one is interesting . Were do find the entrance or who can i contact to get details . I was told today that Cycle Lab Boksburg have access to an area at the top end of Impala Park and the the back of OR Tambo and the ride there on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings . Can anyone confirm this .

Benoni Country Club, very safe.

 

Don't ride the Glen Marais route alone. Go in a group, it is not safe, and some idiots use it as a dumping site as well, so picking up flats is likely.

All true but not sure how and when to access it - I have gone there and then its all locked up. Yet to find it open... Good bit of riding there but very open and tends to be very hot, dry and dusty on that patch of soil. Honestly speak to the shops and see when they have a group ride there.

 

Even the Monument trails look like good casual fun but be a small group at least...

The Jet Park course next to the runway is run by Cycle lab Boksburg. This along with the forest section on the Emperors side, that also formed part of the Emperors Classic (don't go through here alone either!!!), forms part of the Saturday morning out rides. You can do the runway course twice or three times if you feel energetic  :whistling: .

 

Running both courses will give you a mix of everything a mountain biker could expect considering it is pretty flat!

 

Call the shop to find out more.

 

You didn't mention BRB but I am sure you have been there...

 

Alot of guys usually get together for a ride out to Broodblik (really old farm style bakery on the side of the road), towards bapsfontein, on a Saturday morning as well.

Yes, the Riverfields red loop is just over 12km. A ride there, 2 or 3 loops and back is a good 2h30 - 3hr ride.

The technical trail side is cool now! There is a nice tree ride at BCC:

Do you know which groups do this ride? I would be keen to join.

I've ridden with Finish Line  +/- 60km  from shop on different routes, heard some Cyclelab guys do as well but haven't ridden with them yet.

The group I ride with don't start too early, 6am in summer and 7am in winter with ave 19=22 kmh, as it warms up and I need to increase distance I cycle to the shop and back which gives me about 90km.

Cycle Lab has the code to the gate.

You join their cycle club @ R 199 pm and get the code + entries to other bike parks in the area.
