Cradle mountain bike trail nears completion

THE 18km Gateway 2
Gateway mountain bike trail
in the Cradle of Humankind is
nearing completion.
First to be finished will be
the 5km ‘Green beginner’ trail
from the Kloofzicht Gateway
to the entrance to the Rhino
and Lion Reserve. Once the
mountain bike wooden bridge
crossing the Bloubank River is
completed, this section will be
ready to use.
The remaining 13km trail
from Rhino and Lion Reserve
along the D540 to the
Lanseria Gateway is also
nearing completion. The trail
corridor has been cleared
of most vegetation and the
tread has been roughed in.
Trails need to mature over
time and it is expected that
this trail section will require a
season or two of weathering
and riding before it will be
relatively free of bumps.
