Frosty Posted March 3, 2023 Share 9 minutes ago, Furbz said: can anyone confirm if its still possible to ride from the circus to the the South gate and back? or is the South gate closed now? According to the Strava segment from the Circus to the reserve and back, there have been no recorded efforts this year. I would take that as knowing the Kareekloof gate is closed.

wattnow Posted March 3, 2023 Share Was there a week or 2 back. That gate most certainly looks closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted March 3, 2023 Share When I was there 4 weeks ago, met up with a group that said they came in at the south gate, but maybe they sneaked in ... 🤷♂️ Edited March 3, 2023 by TheoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted March 4, 2023 Share So the South Gate is not open but open. I saw 2x cars parked there and spoke to the guard. It’s sounds like you could ride in that gate, pay at the north gate, then exit the South Gate. who wants to try? TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only honest people will actually go to the north gate and ask if they could pay, iow, its creating a way of free entry to who ever wants. Not that they do much with the income they are getting. Apparently all income go to the provincial government and only the bare minimum comes back to the reserve, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he actually checks though… on a different note the Mugg and Bean at the total garage has seen some stuff anyone know of a better place to grab a post ride breakie?

Frosty Posted September 1, 2023 Share Meals on Wheels is going through there in October, so it will hopefully be in a good enough state to host a race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnekop Posted September 4, 2023 Share Was there on Saturday. Still a killer ride. Wind was pumping. Open at 7am Roads are okay. Still no water or toilets. TheoG and Danger Dassie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place has so much potential. Could fulfill a tier of conservation, research, sports training and tourism markets. Staff are keen, well trained and there’s a good baseline for the infrastructure. Fukal leadership though. mazambaan, TheoG and Blokman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine CSA gets hold of this thing and creates a sports centre for cycling......training camps.....etc. Like you say......baseline is there. Could be an amazing place to go for a weekend and just cycle and sleep over and listen to presenters etc. Dexter-morgan, The Ouzo, mazambaan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
