fandacious Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Quote....@Cassie: Is that the driveway next to Spanish Farm Guest Lodge at the bend? Or is it lower down. Was there Sunday morning. But anyway' date=' is do those trails not lead down to Helderberg Farm's MTB trails..... Yup, that's it...I haven't found the connection to Herderberg farm yet, But i'm sure there is one.I will keep on trying..... Isn't it a shame that all the best riding spots are ALWAYS on private land???That path through the forest makes me feel like i'm in Sabie somewhere...And some serious climbing as well!!! Great excersize...[/quote'] i can show you the link to helderberg farm if you want. theres also a link to steilte proteas. you can get onto those tracks by going up through the protea farm as well. theres a road that goes up to the radio towers

Velouria Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 You ridden up those concrete jeep tracks? Now that is steep!!
Cassie Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Great! I'm game...would be nice to meet some of you face to face.... Let's bounce some dates & times around.... this coming monday? Yip, sounds good - PM me your cell details and we can get together
Christopher Brunsdon Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 My wife likes to take the little rug rat to Helderberg Farm and I'm considering trying their trail this weekend - got dust on my MTB for the first time this morning (ok it was side of the Parel Vallei Rd) and it was more fun than sticking to tar. Seems like its an easy one so will be a great start. BTW Charles from wanna-b-team was really helpful and encourages to do a few rides with them first before signing up.
fandacious Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 You ridden up those concrete jeep tracks? Now that is steep!! yup - thats what i was refferring to. at the end of the jeep tracks you turn right and then left along the fence up to the masts. thats even steeper
Slowbee Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 monday morning sounds good. Where do we meet then ?
