Quagga Posted November 5, 2018 Share Can someone confirm if any trail running is allowed on the trails (Not talking Meerendal) We encounted someone while climbing up to the mast on conties, and he said "but I have a permit and he HAD one, the one the club sells. But as far as I know that is for riding only and the club has never sold permits for running or did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted November 5, 2018 Share As far as I know, only on Meerendal (which is not under TGMTB jurisdiction), and then a section or two on lower Bloemendal, but not sure which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as far as I know that is for riding only and the club has never sold permits for running or did I miss something?From the TMTBC rules (http://www.tygerbergmtb.co.za/clubrules.html): Trail RunningNo trail running on any of the TygerbergMTB club and associated singletrack is allowed. Land access has been negotiated for mountainbiking where members are clearly identfiable via bike boards only. Bloemendal and Meerendal do however allow running on the jeeptracks on the respective farms. Edit: This does not count for Majik forest which is public land and hikers/runners/walkers/dogs are allowed.

But the climb up the mast is not singletrack and can be reached from the bottom via the jeep track road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quagga Posted November 5, 2018 Share As far as I know, only on Meerendal (which is not under TGMTB jurisdiction), and then a section or two on lower Bloemendal, but not sure which it is.It would be nice if the club could let the members know where this is allowed and if the runners need a permit etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted November 5, 2018 Share It would be nice if the club could let the members know where this is allowed and if the runners need a permit etc. Doesn't bother me much, as I do not ride lower Bloemendal that often.But yeah, more info would be welcomed.

Wannabe Posted November 5, 2018 Share I believe only the jeeptrack at Bloemendal, NO SINGLETRACK RUNNING IS ALLOWED. So if you find a runner on the ST (i.e. someone without a bicycle with him) ride over him / her, as they are not allowed to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubarra Posted November 5, 2018 Share Are you talking about Conties? Yes? My guess is the trail runners don't really belong there, but yes - strictly speaking they are not on the singletrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagga Posted November 5, 2018 Share Yes? My guess is the trail runners don't really belong there, but yes - strictly speaking they are not on the singletrack.Conties is separate from TBMTC and as far as I know, the dont allow running at all.

Me rida my bicycle Posted November 5, 2018 Share I have encountered runners on Conties and Hoogies both on the single track and they gave way so did not bother me never knew they weren't allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted November 5, 2018 Share What time of day have you guys seen the most snakes?have seen snakes around 10h but then again I have seen some on a night ride at Bloemendal, its not like they have a time schedule most probably won't be out in peak heat of the day most likely in the shade then. ????????I have been lucky ot have only encountered 1 poisonous 1 that I know of. Don't want to know how many I passed in the long grass at Meerendal last weekend they seriously need to cut that back more.
