Hello,

 

Logwood has reopened and is now being run by the village itself. All of the old tracks are their apart from the black routes.

 

And at R10 per car is very good value and is for a good cause

 

Only open on the weekend at the momment though

 

Where is logwood?

has it been extended ? AFIK only 7-8km ?

We do the single 9km single track and then take the gravel road down into the valley. Can easily do a 20 to 30km that way. The owner is planning to extend the track on the farm though and I would say middle of next year you would be able to do about 20km of single track there.

Really loving Northern Farm at the moment. The extended single track along the river is AWESOME!!!

Rode there last weeken the single track along the river has been closed off as it has been washed away.

Good choice. Make sure you also ride up to Voortrekker Monument when you go to Groenkloof.

 

Can you still access the Monument from Groenies? We used to ride under the storm bridge through Fountains to get to the Monument- but in recent years the gautrain development blocked the entrance...Is there another way?

 

1. Groenies

 

2. Van Gaalen = awesome ride!

 

3. Teak Place - Humber hill! Ja pappie!

 

4. Kingskloof was lekker fun - made part of the Silverstar race, mo3rse rocky!

 

5. Logwood has indeed reopened, all single track and lotsa fun- dodgy area though between the squaters, but they have security at the gate (as if it counts for something these days)

Did a race there way back in 2008, the park was in mint condition!

 

went again about 2 months ago- was shocked to see the condition of the place. Most of the trails were overgrown because no-one rides them. Even so- had a blast in the mud, great switch backs all over, North Shore has 2 HUUGGGEEE drops :thumbup: Zombie Birdhouse is still the same as before- fast and furious! Waterworx is lotsa fun close to the dam and the list goes on...

 

Advice- go in a group of about 4, just to be safe- as i mentioned, they do have security at the gate and fencing all round! Lotsa fun! :thumbup:

Nope . These are two seperate "parks" i.e you got to pay if you go from the one to the next . The tunnel under the highway is still there but there is a locked gate .

ooooh i see! never knew the Monnas had their own park, did the race there- though it was only for the one event. Will have to pop in there next time!
