Night riding at Teak Place

[Leon Jacobs]

Hi

 

A few of us are going to do the 24hour Mugg & Bean event this coming weekend. This will include night riding which we all do not get enough of.

 

I spoke to Deon at Teak Place in Muldersdrift where they do night races on a 8km track. He said it is fine to come through and do the track. It is free and there are showers to use as well.

 

I have attached a map to Teak Place. So far we are thinking of going through on Tuesday and Thursday night to do some night riding. Let me know if anyone is keen.

 

Cheers,

 

Leon

Sorry, map attached.

I have been keen for some night trailtime for a while. I never knew
there was a trail here, what is it like?

Same question - I know the place but what trails are there ?

Hi All

The last time I raced there (a couple of month's back) there where two routes.
The race route has two monster climbs on it, as well as a fast descent.
However not technical at all. The other was more sedate (still had most of the
long back climb).

Both routes go up past the petting farm. The routes separate just after the
stone and cement mud covered bridge that is immediately after a left turn. The
hard route goes straight while the easy route turns right and continues next
to the river. Take a spare set of lungs if you taking the race route.

I'd offer to show you guy's the routes on Thursday, but my wife is away on
business and I'll be looking after the kids.

Regards

Mark

Would love to, however that is the night I ride in the Souf at Rietvlei. Sorry.

[Mark Stockton]

The race route is about 7 or 8km while the easier route is 5 or 6.

[Paul Damhuis]

Night riding at Rietvlei, is it an organised thing or a pitch and ride ?

I have heard of the place where is it ?

/Paul

[Mark Stockton]

It's is loosely organised for 18h00 every Tuesday and Thursday. You need to
get an access card from the LBS (The Cycle Hub) as they constantly building
and maintaining the trails. Works out to R 10.00 per ride.

The only problem is it is very far from where we live. Rietvlei is west of
Alberton. However I work in City Deep so not to bad for me.

[Leon Jacobs]

Also heard about Rietvlei. Sounds like a great place for mtb but just a bit far for the week. Keen to check it out on a weekend soon though.

 

I will be going through tomorrow night so I will be able to check out the trails and get a feel for it. Paul and Paul, let me know if you guys are keen to come out as well.

 

Dean from Teak Place whom I spoke to this morning only spoke about the 8km route which was used for night racing but it would be nice to do both if the shorter route is still there.

 

Apparently there is also a 45km trail which forms part of the 94.7 mtb route. Not sure how and if it is marked at all.

 

Maybe one day soon we can do night rides on the mtb route in Golden Harvest!
