Safety at Big Red Barn

[Jan Myburgh]

Hi everyone. I heard unconfirmed rumours that a mountain biker was mugged at Big Red Barn last week. Has anyone heard of anything of the sort? 

I have an annual pass and cycle there often, alone, at odd hours. Not so sure if that is such a good idea if this story is true. I also intend to ask the question to BRB themselves.

I ride there alone, 2-3 times a week(also annual pass , never heard anything never saw anything. Often have a quick chat at the ticket caravan(nothing mentioned there either) was there today with I think 3 other riders in the morning at the most. Where can you ride where it's safer ?

With the Spar woman's day thing over the past few weekends  it had a bit more traffic out on the trails.

Could very well be on the main road outside of Red Barn. This has happened before.   

Will wait for something more official. 

We ride there at all hours and I do a solo ride quite often. Always felt safe.

Also curious, I ride there often when I'm able to.
