Black Widdow Posted November 3, 2010 Share Did you go recently? I've been there the last 6 weekends, did not hear of any issues. There are some security here and there, saw one on quad bike on MTB3 trail. Seems ok these days, but always alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtracker Posted November 4, 2010 Share Rather go to Groenkloof in Pretoria. Exceptionally safe and offers you anything and everything a MTB could wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_w_65 Posted November 4, 2010 Share I have been there 5 times in the last 5 weeks when it has been quiet. Cycled about 20km each time and close to perimiter fence. No problems. Edited November 4, 2010 by chris_w_65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Used to go there on a regular basis a few years ago, that tapered down not because of security concerns but just because I started riding other areas more often.Started riding there again recently, can honestly say I haven't felt at threat at all and have noticed a marked increase in security efforts.Sad to have lost the one trails the heads through the small tunnel under the highway, but NF have done this with our safety at heart. Just obey the warnings and no bike areas, everything should be hunky dory. Was there about 2 weekends ago in the afternoon evening. No issues.

Santa C Posted November 13, 2010 Share Was there on Sunday morning last week, rode there from Broadacres I had no issues at all! NF in the morning is 99% safe. But I herd there was an issue there in the afternoon. Best advice, go there when there are other cyclist there. P.s The new single track by the river is awesome, as good as some of the stuff at Van Glaalens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
