 This Greenbelt route, do I require Sanparks permit? and where best to start my ride? 

Im a newby :whistling:

 

Planning to purchase the annual Sanparks permit, just wont get to the office today to purchase

Hi, no permit required. There are a few 'start' points, all depends on what you feel like. Bootleggers/Trail & Tar parking lot is the 'bottom', meaning it's all flat and uphill all the way to Southern Cross, or you can carry on and cross the road into Cecilia Forest and finish at the car park there. Then downhill (pretty much) all the way back. You could also start at Peddlars and skip the highway part. There is also the option of starting off in lower Tokai and doing a lap of that. Many possibilitie to make it as long or as short as you like. Just please keep in mind that these are all shared trails, and best enjoyed with Chill on, Strava and Ego off. Happy Trails!

You need a permit for the bits in bold.

Swing past the Bikepark at Uitsig they quite often have groups of people that get together and buy as a group which makes the permit a whole lot cheaper.

 Just to clarify, go to uitzig bike park and buy group permit via them?

 

Or just hope i get a group of folks to buy group permit for sanparks?

We need 4 people. I'll actually start a Permit thread (unless there is one) and hopefully people who need can make contacts there for group purchases. I'll send you a DM with links to the online form. It needs to be printed out and you can post it over to me or we can meet up. You need 2 photos as well.
