I FLY Posted March 5, 2018 Share This morning we were stopped at the 1st gate by a security guard who told us that cyclists were not allowed access anymore. In the year that we have lived here and ridden through that gate we have never seen a security guard. Does anyone know what has changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trail - er - park Posted March 5, 2018 Share Rode there yesterday - no issues. Some of the lesser-used parts on the Red and Black trails are in dire need of maintenance but apart from that all normal. slickjay007 and henrivdr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakoota Posted March 5, 2018 Share Modderfontein reserve is closed entirely on Mondays, probably just poor communication from the guard. Arrived at 5:55 on Sunday waited till 6:04 when the guard arrived and we were all given access with no worries. Trail maintenance is a bit of a different story though. The more frequently used green and orange sections seem to be ok but when I hit the far red singletrack up and down the hill at the back it started to feel like I was Edmund Hillary exploring unchartered territory - those tracks have not seen a cutter in a while. slickjay007 and henrivdr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted March 6, 2018 Share We went through the 1st wooden gate at 5h45 this morning. Gate was open and no guard in sight. So I guess yesterday's communication to the guard re cyclists being denied access was incorrect and should have been "closed on Monday, come back tommorrow" Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidersky Posted April 1, 2018 Share Was there this morning. I've never seen the black jacks this bad before. We were coated in them after 5 minutes on the single track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotic Posted April 1, 2018 Share We ride there often.Some parts are trimed. Due to the rain I guess it's difficult to keep everything in check.Still a great place to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted April 1, 2018 Share I must admit maintenance are lacking even the benches by the bike wash are dry and cracking, lets hope winter will sort it out. Bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finallygotabike Posted April 3, 2018 Share What time does Modderfontein open in the mornings? Want to go ride there tomorrow morning, is it still worthwhile or has the trails gone to the dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
