Hi MTBbiker, you guys should feel free to share the stuff here:

Bicycle Safety

Hi guys,

With the holidays upon us (I'm already on leave), would it be safe to ride at Groenkloof in the mornings during weekdays? I want to start riding tomorrow morning, but don't have a cycling partner. I ride there regularly during weekends with my mates, and have never felt unsafe prob because of the huge amount of people on the trail, just dont know how a early morning weekday would go during December?

Groenkloof is sharp, I would stay clear of fountains though as the fence is dodgy near the railway and people can gain access that way

Good question. I am willing to go and ride with you early mornings tomorrow and Tuesday.

Went running in Voortrekker Monument today.

No issues but please be aware that there is a large hole in the fence near the Gautrein bridge on Eeufees road. The hole is at about hip length and perfect for a person to climb through and thus I'm pretty sure it's made by vagrants climbing through to sleep there/poach/get water/mug people.

I did make one of the guards at the gate aware of the matter (and will follow it up) but please guys do be vigilant if you go there, there may be more such "entrances" that one is not aware of.
