Hi All.

Was out this morning at the spruit for a nice ride and wow was I surprized with the new section with the berms and jumps.Actually we ended up taking a piece out of our normal trail and doing the berm/jump line a second time going back to sprocket and jack.Well done and awesome job to who did the build and your team members.So many more spots where we can make this happen.Lets hope jhb parks donate some more money to this awsome trail spot for all to enjoy.Have a lekke Dec all and keep building!!!!!

Terrible and so sad. Can’t think of much worse for a child to see their parent pass on such circumstances. That will haunt him. Very sad. RIP.

From Jozi Trail FB page.

 

 

“Jozi Trails has received the incredibly sad news that a cyclist has passed away after a fall near Victory Park.

 

We've been in contact with the family and the details, currently available, are as follows:

 

A father & son were riding along the Braamfontein Spruit and while crossing the stormwater drain through the dip in the trail (parallel to Dale Brook Crescent) it's believed that at the low point of the crossing his wheel washed out and he suffered a serious fall. At this stage it is assumed that he suffered serious injuries from the fall and passed away as a result. It was confirmed that the rider had not attempted the gap jump.

 

The family has asked that we respect their privacy at this time and we will not be releasing the riders name. Our most sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of the rider and we will keep the community updated with any new information.”
