Provisional starting time at 6 am at bottom of Majik at Jip de Jager. Please check this thread tomorrow afternoon around 6pm for confirmation re Sunday's ride.

dirtman Posted February 19, 2010 Share What distance is the entire loop? Between 40 and 50 km if you do both green and red route at Hillcrest and the Contermans loop. If you add all of Majik, you will get up to 60. Not an easy ride however, will take you about 3 to 3,5 hours to do the route without Majik.

sss000sss Posted February 20, 2010 Share So it's still cheaper to join Tygerberg MTB club for R250 per year and the Contermanskloof permit for R350, total R600. And you can make use of the green belt from Majik to Hillcrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeridaHFS Posted February 20, 2010 Share Someone mentioned somewhere on the hub about displaying number boards on your bike.. Saw a few guys at hillcrest today but no one had anything that looked like number boards. What does it look like and where should it be on the bike?

And you can make use of the green belt from Majik to Hillcrest.[/quote'] If you are a Tygerberg MTB club member, you only pay R300 for a Contermanskloof permit and not R350 - so the total is R550 per year. And yes, only Tygerberg MTB club members are allowed to cross over Nitida to Hillcrest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few guys at hillcrest today but no one had anything that looked like number boards. What does it look like and where should it be on the bike? ] Tygerberg MTB club members get a white plastic bike board with 2010 printed on it when they join the club - this board is also your free pass to cross from MAjik to Hillcrest via the green corridor, as well as riding for free at Hillcrest. If you buy a annnual permit for Contermanskloof, you get an addisional orange sticker to attach to the board. You do not to be a member (and thus have a bike board) to ride at Hillcrest or Contermans - you then just need to buy a permit for R25 every time you ride either Hillcrest or Contemans - if you ride both together, you must buy a R25 day permit for each - R50 in total.
