quinton Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Not sure if anyone has seen this but I thought I would share this. http://www.toyota.co.za/toyotaworld/sponsorship_content.aspx?contentid=1657 The Toyota MTN Cycle Park in Bryanston, adjacent to Main Road between Sloane and Witkoppen, will provide a safe world-class facility for adrenaline junkies, and introduce the public at large to one of South Africa?s fastest growing pastimes?, says Andrew Kirby, Toyota SA. According to Cycle Lab?s, Andrew Mclean, apart from its BMX track and MTB trail, the facility will house the necessary infrastructure for both would-be biking professionals and the community as a whole. ?There will be a parking lot, a Seattle coffee shop and a bike shop, and we will also have development bicycles on loan for underprivileged children in Diepsloot and other areas, so that they can be introduced to the sport,? said Mclean. The park will be opened to the public in November. Look out for the new Toyota MTN Cycle Park corner Main and Sloane Steets, Bryanston Features at the venue: Adrenaline guaranteed racing BMX dirt racing track Entry-level tracks for youngsters Advanced tracks for experienced riders Bring your own bike or rent one for the day Bike shop Seattle coffee shop Ideal for children?s parties Corporate team building events Parking Safe environment
shaunh Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Anyone know what the entrance fee will be?? As they say MM, if you have to ask then you can't afford it!!
Hog_ Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Where do you get 16 Nov? The article heading says the park is planned to open in November, and the article was published 16 October. Geoff did mention in his last email that it would be in Nov, so I'm hoping for the first weekend. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part. I did consider building a ramp to get over the fence, but the Mapogo security dudes scare the sh*t outta me!

NotSoBigBen Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 50 ZA ronds a single visit? Sorry but I'll just keep on riding the Walkerville hills and surrounds .........
quinton Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Took the information directly from the Toyota web site as per the link in the post.
madmarc Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 mmmm the 20 visit card is not to bad. But i think (and of course it's my personal opinion) kids under 13 should be free. If dad takes his 2 or 3 kids on a Sunday morning for a "quality time with my kids ride" it could work out expensive.
AndreZA Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I'll go xmas morning. While the wimin are cooking and everybody else is opening presents. Should be nice and quiet then.
scotty Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Down the road from me so during dec i can pop in extended lunch time and try it out.
Loon Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 ya right Mampara... You do know how kids (big and small ones ) are with prezzies... Emagine the nagging at 4am to open them and then they need to go try out the new bike.. I dont hink quiet is going to be an option

I dont hink quiet is going to be an option maybe, but witl all the excitement mommy and daddy forgot to buy the helmet so "sorry, no helmet, no ride"

I'm sure they'll stock up well on helmets, shoes and cleats!
Loon Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 ya, guess so.You know. On Sat went out on a spruit ride with Nancy Drew, Mamba and Chris. Saw 2 guys with R20K + bikes,... and no helmet... Yesterday at N Farm... I thought that policy was imposed there too. But I guess not strong enough as I saw many families with kids riding without helmets. I did think of stoping and calling the dad's aside to ask the why no helmets. But I remembered the last time I did that, nearly get a punch for asking such a silly quesion...

Do you ask smokers why the cigarettes? Sean Badenhorst2008-10-27 03:58:32
