Hog_ Posted August 7, 2008 Share I'm a regular at Logwood. I purchase the unit cards, so it works out to R30 per ride, during peak times. Off-peak it's R10 I think. Only been there once out of peak times. I don't think this is bad at all, considering I get to ride in a safe environment, on very well maintained trails, and awesome single-track. Also, there's pretty much always someone cool to chat to in the recovery zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted August 7, 2008 Share Is only R10 if you got the card ! nice way to force you to get a card ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmet Posted August 7, 2008 Share R30 at giba is fair then. it does have awesome single track. annual fees are R1200 which is R23/week. If I go often enough, I guess this is a deal! There are other areas to ride like the hewllets cane fields (licence required) but then safety is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 7, 2008 Share Hopefully the Fourways bike park remains in this range and does not head to the Logwood extreme. remember who they cater for. I'm sure they could have found cheaper ground somehwere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markStockton Posted August 7, 2008 Share Maybe I should add, I think Goat Trail is R 10.00 per day. Braai fires provided as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted August 7, 2008 Share not a bike park per se, but groenies at less than R20 is a steal, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted August 7, 2008 Share Groenkloof is fast turning into a bike park . It has become so popular since all the single track that they are limiting the numbers entering the park . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted August 7, 2008 Share Groenkloof is fast turning into a bike park . It has become so popular since all the single track that they are limiting the numbers entering the park . that i didn't know, but seeing how full the parking lot gets on a sunday morning, i can sorta understand. never experienced congestion onthe trails though.

dirtrider Posted August 7, 2008 Share WAs brought to my attention last week when I went there for a ride . They have also now put up a sign at the gate . Like you said I think parking is more a problem because even if the car park is full I have never had congestion anywhere on the trials . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted August 7, 2008 Share guys i agree R50 for logwood is a bit much especially seeing as you probably only have in the region of 20km of single track (if that) and not all of it rideable to most people so in that aspect it is ridiculous so havent been there since jan and dont expect to go there any time soon in regards to the fourways park prices are going to be cheaper for a while but eventually it is going to be another logwood effectively groenkloof is a safe environment with loads of different aspects to it and there are more than one race route surrounding it at a price tag of less than R10 for everyone except students (we pay R3 or something ridiculous like that) and we can ride for at least an hour without having to go back on the same trail Northern farm is also a great venue to go ride and is also a bargain for the amount of trails that you get (even with my garmin i got lost hehehe) so in my opinion it is much more worthwhile for e to take a training ride out to Pta or Northern farm go ride a few laps and ride home and still have a few bucks to buy a coke and some slap chips on the way home and with regards to giba i havent been there but from the pictures i have seen R30 is not unreasonable for a park of that nature and quality!!!

Helmet Posted August 7, 2008 Share For extra miles for training you could take to the road but then nowdays you might be paying with your life down here in kzn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veloce Posted August 7, 2008 Share I don't know what the other parks charge' date=' but in my opinion R30 sounds fare. Remember, the up-keep and general maintenance of these parks are high and look at the facilities offered. How many trails are there etc..[/quote'] Of course its fare...There will always be a fare, R30 in this case ....The question of whether this is fair or not, in my opinion is as dirt breath says...It is fair as long as the place doesnt start deteriorating...

Baaisikilist Posted August 7, 2008 Share You can't really compare Logwood with Northern Farm, they cater for different types of riding/riders. I'd gladly pay 50 bux to ride single track with drop-offs n bridges n steep crazy descents n platfotms n obstacles before i'd pay 9 bux to ride neverending boring jeep track n sand roads and zero technical stuff. It costs money to maintain a place like logwood, not nearly as much to maintain the 'trails' at NF. It's all relative.Giba will charge more too eventually. Is 50 bux a lot of money these days...?
