Or just if you managed to escape childhood without one or two life changing "bliksems" from a parent for your utter stupidity.

It immediately stops them from being rogue riders, which they would have remained, eliminating confrontation with them AND gives them a purpose. The club gets free labour. Less rogue riders, free marshals and less confrontation Yeah, that's about as effective as making an ex-convict President.

Is this some kind of special arrangement for certain individuals? ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like making an ex con a patrolman or an ex poacher a coast guard or ranger...... Both of which happen often in certain places to great success.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted April 11 Share Maybe of the Tygerberg side. On Bottelary side it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tygerberg marshalls I know are paid-up members who volunteer for marshalling duty. Don't know if there are exceptions but I hope not, can see how that would create problems.

Bub Marley Posted April 12 Share Anyone been to Majik Forest lately and can comment on the general conditions / Upkeep of the trail? Is it rideable? Haven’t been there in ages and obviously dont wanna bother if all the trees and bushes are over growing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just above the forest to the houses, there was one or two spots that was not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No concern about overgrowth, probably as most of the route is used by walkers and runners too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very eroded, especially the last section where it tees into the path running parallel to the dam, but that just made it more fun to ride. Otherwise, no problems with overgrowth anywhere that I rode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Stewart Posted April 12 Share Majik has such potential as a proper trail, especially the upper parts above Bloemendal, but it being Public Open Space and all I guess that remains a pipe dream. That canvas is just begging for some real artist to come paint on it with a digger loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
