Costs of trail centres?

[Duane_Bosch]

You right...its only 35 Swiss Francs, cheap really!!

Still a bargain. That's about the price of a demi pint in Switzerland not so?

[Dexter-morgan]

Modders R450 for 10 entries or R50 per day.

Rietvlei R35 per day, I think

[Mawbs]

actually i dont think Holla rates are crazy ...if you buy a year membership then its R 169.00 a month. so even if you only ride weekends both days then you paying R 21.12 a day.  if you ride more then obviously you score even better.

Bike Park wales - R2000 year / R135 per day

 

R550 for the weekday uplift option and R643 on the weekend... but sweet baby jeezus it's a great way to pack in the trails if you have a day.

Best ride at the best price

 

Harkerville was R30 per day may now be R35.

 

AND it is well maintained.

That Harkerville trail is an exceptionally nice ride indeed. Can't believe is so cheap!

Full membership R450 per year (and add your significant other for R400)

 

Country member R300 per year (if you belong to another registered, non-virtual MTB Club)

 

Learners /pensioners get reduced rates

 

 

 

or R50 per day license  regardless of who you are

I'm interested to see what riders pay, per annum and per day at various riding venues in South Africa. There seems to be a big difference in what you pay, and what you get for it. Money vs length of trail, trail features etc.

What is the norm, and how much is too much?

In my experience (KZN):

Karkloof:

R580 a year

R50 per day. 

 

Giba:

R960 a year

R65 per day.

 

Holla: 

R2197 a year

R60 per day

 

Are you serious now,Holla charges R2197 a year to ride in that rubbish up there they must be drunk on all the sugar cane around them.

Northern Farms R50 p/d

If the trail network was maintained then this would be true, but that's definitely not the case...

I think it's a travesty that people have to pay to ride their bikes.

i think they are maintained pretty well, there is hardly a time when you cant ride ( except for just recently when flash floods wash out some bridges.

R600 at Tygerberg - perday varies between 40 and 60 depending on which trail.

 

It's a bargain in my view when you consider how many kilometers of singltrack there are.

 

According to Patrick, our trail builder extraordinaire:

 

Single track       95.29km

Dirt Roads         44.19km

Total Trails       139.48km

 

So, in other words, TOTALLY worthy of an annual membership.

Bike Park Constantia - R65 a day

 

Took out a family membership for the year. R2000, Me & my 3 boys.

 

Basically got my money back after the 8th visit. I go almost every weekend there so an annual membership is a no brainer.

You don't have to. It's entirely free to ride your bicycle on a provincial or municipal road. But if I catch you riding on my property without the required permission, i.e. a day pass which is usually paid for, well then.
