St Stithians trails (Randburg)

[Cheese]

Hi,

 

I would like to know if anyone can ride the trials at St Stithians or do you have to belong to a club.

Anyone can ride in at any one of the 4 gates. If you drive in, take your ID, and park up at the Higher Ground restaurant, for a drink at the end of the ride. Impressive view!

wait what?? There are cycling trails (road or mtb?) around the corner at St Stithians?? Is it open to public members as long as you produce your ID? No fees?

The tar route loop is only around 4km. There are some trails, but not sure how long they are.

the trails are roughly 4kms aswell. You need to park at higher ground and then head off towards innovation group building. They really are fun and right on our doorstep

Does anyone have a strava link or gpx of the XCO route?

Sorry for jumping in on your post Cheese, the excitement got the best of me!

How does one get there? Or rather, which entrance? I've driven past the gate on corner of Milner Road and Bram Fischer often, but is this even a usable entrance?

Using the Strava Segment explorer I found this quickly:

There were several segments though, so you could probably find something more specific when you have a look.

This is the full lap - really fun little loop and they are adding to it at the moment.

You just drive in and present your license. Park at Higher Ground. You can get directions at the gate. 

 

Just be careful in the dark as the tarred roads are popular with runners, and are not lit up at all.

Hi all. Are the trails at St Stithians open at the moment to the riders?

[Heinrichgg]

I was there today and was told I need to register as a trail user on the website. Can't find where on the website to do so though.

Saints is lekker but that climb by the tennis courts is a mafq for me.
