Pics from the summit of my ride yesterday

wasn't arguing re need for clean up - just saying that sanparks prob wouldn't do for MTB unless formally approached and asked for permission to ride there.

 

I agree its sort of a grey area I'm just repeating what I know from meetings with SANParks. I wouldn't like to see the issue 'pushed' as I know people do ride there and I've had the 'official' position from SANParks. This was several years ago and the position might have changed.

 

AMArider would have contact details for who is currently in touch with SANParks re MTB (e.g. fixing trails in Tokai) if you want to do something about 'formalising' riding and / or getting it cleaned up.

 

The article in Tread doesn't make it right.........

 

It seems like we're on the same page here, Cheryl.

 

It needs a clean up in general, not from an MTB point of view. It is first a hiking trail and a piece of history ( I didn't even realise there was a radar station at the top until I moved to Hout Bay).

Anybody riding it needs to realise this and be on the lookout for walkers and dogs.

 

Unfortunately not many MTB routes to ride in Hout Bay. If you know any (sneaky or not ;-) ) please let me know by PM

often get sent to that side of the world - but for work not riding. Texas, Salamander Drive, all the freaking cheap ass locals who call for a Fire Rescue vehicle claiming "Gunshot - Head" which turns out to be a bleeding toe.

Where abouts is that? In Hangberg or IY?

No, unfortunately not. Was a little early in the day.

 

But if it's a nice day sometimes I'll take a leisurely walk or ride to Fish for Africa and some nice Blue Nose or Yellowtail or ... whatever I feel like on the day.

 

Then put it on the braai on the deck, pop a cerveza and chill out.
