DieselnDust Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 It has always been that way. The only recent change is to have Vasbyte as down only. sorry but you must be mistaken as it hasn't always been that way. These rules seems to have made an appearance in the last few years.Most of the trails were shared dual way and riders got along quite happily. So whats changed that these "rules" have now come into play? I don't recall any mention of accidents involving riders going in opposite directions.
DieselnDust Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Definition of pinner. 1 : a woman's cap with long lappets worn in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Wait!! Hold the God damned phone. Did you actually refer to yourself as a pinner???????!???? It's a play on what Patrick calls all the people who want more technical trails. Hence the " ". I'm decidedly average and wouldn't call myself a pinner at all.

I don't recall any mention of accidents involving riders going in opposite directions.Far more and higher foliage causing loss of sight of potential oncomers on the trails therefore all but Boulders and Faerie are unidirectional and down only in order to reduce the potential of future incidents.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 ???!!! Yep. All but Boulders and Faerie garden are down only. marko35s 1
marko35s Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Yep. All but Boulders and Faerie garden are down only.And Puff Adder is bi-directional too, tiny as it is.For many years the bi-directional trails were restricted to Fairy Garden, Your Roots, Vasbyt (Including the Bluegums section), Boulders and Puff Adder.The Snake Trails, DH line and Switchbacks have been single direction for a long time.Vasbyt was changed to down only for a few reasons, visibility (as you mentioned), the higher speeds being carried down there and, rather crucially, there is no way to exit now without crossing the DH line or climbing the berm at the top because the old exit route has been reclaimed and fenced of by the adjacent wine farm.
Robbie Stewart Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I'm confused. Where on the Tygerberg network of trails are these trails being discussed?

ChrisF Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I'm confused. Where on the Tygerberg network of trails are these trails being discussed? 1) at the AGM 2) in the weekly club news letter

Robbie Stewart Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) 1) at the AGM 2) in the weekly club news letter Really? I get the weekly newsletter, but I have yet to find info with regards to builds on Tokai...and which direction their trails are designated. What has that to do with Tygerberg MTB?
