"Residents" blocking the proposed Stellenberg trail..

[Eddy Gordo]

Yeah, is there any news regarding this?

Hi

 

What was the final decision on this?  Or are they just waiting for some rain before they starting to build the track?

Does anyone perhaps have a GPS log of the trail in front of Willowbridge Shopping Centre. I plan on clearing up the track and adding a few fun features. It's a bit overgrown at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll dig in some old strava rides & post something here later.

Thanks guys. If the Stellenberg build hits a dead end, I wander if the plan could be implemented somewhere else nearby. Maybe Durbanville Hills next to the dirt jumps or Willowbridge?

ok cool, as Hairy mentioned chat to CWC & see if they would want to get involved again. I know they invested lots of time & money into getting it into a riding state the last time & would hate to see it all go to waste if not restored to its former glory.

done, is this is it here?

 

looks prime for a few tracks

Correct.

 

 

I only see this now - we used to live just a bit 'downstream' of that and I always eyed this area for exactly this purpose. My late observations:

• I know that weekly school weekday "veldlope" runs are/was already held there.
• There is already an an old grass sport field (I think hockey) right next to the old age home.
• If the neighbours & old age home accept a month long MASSIVE October Church Christmas market next to it, with the associated traffic and activity over lunch and evenings, then they have NO argument with this noise/activity.

I would take the retirement home committee on a bus trip for coffee with MTB's @ Meerendal/Bottelary as well as to the next Spur School event - they are making uninformed decisions.
