Modderfontein Bike Park - what's happening


I FLY

Recommended Posts

No, no Proper Trail rides but its very well mixed between lekker single track and some proper uphill with nice flowing sections, Good Ride there any day of the week, the last downhill is Straight but can be hectic at speeds of more than 45km/h.

For a while there after they had graded that downhill and put bumps in it (for water run-off I think?) you could get some serias air on that road… I loved it.

Anyone else catch the announcement that Two The Core Events have taken over management of Modders? They say lots of improvements and upgrades to come... Sounds really promising.

This can only be good for Modders - I was there this week and it looks tired. Some tracks are badly ridden out and some trails are grassed over (in winter!) from lack of use.

 

Hopefully a new crew will mean new trails and some rehab for the older trails.

#HugeImprovementsToCome

 

What ideas do you guys have? I for one would like to see a separate line coming down the powerlines, that last downhill. Something jumpy and flowy. There is a huge area they can work with, maybe even bring in DirtLab to do it. The great thing is that it is right next to that tar road so the ambulance can access it easily (Busamed is right there) The road also makes an easy pedal up. Shuttle days can be organised easily as well!

There is also such a nice option for an A-ish line over some rocks in the below area. So often I have been temped to just bomb it over there.

Mountain biking is all about having fun on single tracks, testing your fitness on a rocky climb, flying past trees in a forest and finally, just riding your bike all day long!

 

Does Anyone Know if Non Racing Riders are Allowed to Ride on Saturday ?

Asked at the Gate this morning but the staff did not know what is happening.

Modder is and always has been an amazing track. Been riding there for years and just concerned at the amount of Roads being carved through there? What's with that? it is definitely one of the safer placed to ride and is always a jol, black jacks and overgrown paths to boot.

 

Stay safe out there.
