I think I must move to CT! If this is the only danger area and it is not Hijack related, then I may be tempted to relocate... and CT has brilliant MTB routes as well!! Work is just a bit of an issue...

I got mugged by three guys in the Koeberg Reserve a few weeks ago.
When you're not training, someone else is, and when you meet them, they will beat you.

Seriously? Did you report it? I was under the impression that place was extremely safe.

The Head of Security at Koeberg is my neighbour. If something like this happens PM me the details so that I can bring it to his attention.

Thanks for all the concern.
I was on my own and all they took was the R50.00 I had, probably because I forgotten my phone at home.
Was on the way down to the dam area when three guys walked in front of me. One of them had a knife so I just gave him the money.
Been mugged once before and got stabbed three times so I didnt want to relive that experience.

Hey, this is quite a big worry for me as well!
I often go riding there.
The only thing that used to worry me was the Zebras that made me have to back track twice.
Seems like I will have to arrange group rides there now.
I am not really going to feel safe with two people will have to get three now.
Where exactly on the course did the mugging take place?
I have even been riding there in the dark a few times with a light, (winter rides) thats kinda out the window now.
oh well, now the big question
Dodge taxis with my road bike
or
potentially get attacked while mtbing
mmmmmm...........
