splat Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 http://www.streetmaps.co.za/?x=18.431158&y=-34.062347666666646&z=0.005&s=m&p=0 Take Tokai Rd exit from M3/Blue Route highway. Go up Tokai Rd in direction of Mountain, go over traffic circle, past the Steenberg golf course on your left, keep heading straight where the road forks, stop and get a permit at the hut on your right, carry on up the road to the end, turn left at the T Junction and follow the road around the car park. Enjoy your ride.splat2009-10-23 00:25:27
Bike Mob Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Take the M3 South from town, take the Tokai Road offramp 2nd last one at the Muizenberg side. Turn right at the offramp robots. drive straight up tokai road, through the next robots and straight at the circle. Pay on the right at the hut and then carry on straight up till you get to a T. take the left onto the gravel and you're there, just follow the gravel road
dirtcrazy Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 thanks guys! what are the trails like? alot of single track? obviously never been there before, but would like to now what to expect....
Capricorn Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 it's awesome! there is ?a map of the various tracks floating around on the forum somewhere. jumps, drops, road jumps *gulp* for the DHers and more adventurous MTBers. Really has it all.
Weekend_Warrior Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 When u wanna go ride there and how fit are you, i have been neglecting my bikes for a while but am happy to take you on a tour.
dirtcrazy Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 hi all, thank you so much for all the info, im not that fit yet, should i "pick a loop" or do the whole ride? how long`s the trail?
downhilldemon Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 i woudn't say there are any specific routes - you kinda take which turns you feel like and how far you want to go. i'd def try go with someone who knows the area as the roads aren't all marked and i don't think all the single track is marked/ i don;t think you'll find it all. awsum riding - just go with some1 in the begining
De Vlaamse Leeuw Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 try to ride to the end of the road. by the tower. go on. i DARE you
Slow1 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 they forgot to tell you, that where you get the map you will also have to pay R25 per entry.
downhilldemon Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 wow, R25 now. last time i paid i think it was about R15.
Lotus Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Yes, head up to the Tower. It's easy! And it's okay if your brakes don't work so well on the return! (Just kidding). The nice thing about this place is you can ride until you're used up, because it's pretty much downhill all the way back to the car. Break your chain - no problem. Worst thing that ever happened to me was surprising a group of baboons while going downhill. You know what they do when they get a fright? Now imagine riding into that stuff - the smell lingers around you and your bike for days! @ Splat - thanks for posting the map. It brings back good memories of when I used to ride there in the 90s (with a group called The Lost Amigos - I wonder if they're still around?). I think admission price was R5 then, and a crowded day was about 20 bikes. Road riding in Johannesburg now - if it wasn't for the Cradle route I'd go mad. Lotus2009-10-24 02:22:08
De Vlaamse Leeuw Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Took me about 50mins to get up there once, about 10 to get down
