Good friend of mine and keen mountain bike rider -see letter below-and their group has a big gripe with a bunch of off road bikes riding on their pvt properties with special made trail tracks. I know this always happens where a few stuffs it up for many others. The owners have threatened with traps etc to get these riders to stop doing this and the bikes in pics are probably mates or a cousin of someone here so if you recognize anyone warm them. There is still place to ride- just make the effort.

We have full colour video footage of these guys entering Zevenwacht Wine Farm and their tyre tracks indicated that they went UP Zevenwacht downhill trails and over across Mooi Plaas Wine Farm. We don’t know where they went out…………………
These guys appear to come from direction Brackenfell/Protea Heights/Kuils River and have been seen (on numerous occasions) riding their off road scramblers on private farm roads around the Botelaary Hills Conservancy. On this specific day (in the rain), they were seen riding on our CUSTOM MADE SPECIFIC MOUNTAIN BIKE SINGLE TRACKS. To make it worse, they even ride them counter-flow which is bloody dangerous and they are stuffing up our handmade single tracks trails. Members pay fees to the Botelaary Hills Conservancy Mountain Bike Trails club system to cut and maintain these tracks across many private farms! Our trails are laid out with landowners consent under strict condition that no motor bikes use them.
It appears that they also ride UP our downhill trails and tracks, HUH – how bloody dangerous is that??????
These guys know exactly what they are doing and where they are going………………….. Good bikes, full kit etc – they know!
Do you perhaps know who these guys are or do you know anyone in the biking fraternity who could identify these bike riders.
The bikes appear to have “race/event” numbers and one has a huge no 47 on its side?
Any assistance from your biker buddies will help please!
