Asidlale Adventure Park, located in northern Johannesburg, offers a range of good riding for all levels of mountain biker.

Best suited for: 

Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced riders.

What we love about it: 

The proximity to Joburg and the flowline! The Joburg trails parks have been rather stagnant in the past couple of years with very little in the way of new features or gravity lines at the established parks.

Joburg trails are notoriously low on gradient, which is why Asidlale is such a breath of fresh air. Built on the land that’s on the Leeuwkop Prison grounds at the north end of Sunninghill/south end of Kyalami, there’s a good variety of trails that offer some decent distance and some engaging descents, including a Flow line and an Enduro line.

Asidlale is a Zulu word that’s pronounced ‘us-sid-laa-lee’ and which means ‘Let’s play’.

There are five trails ranging in distance from 2km to 45km. They are well marked and maintained. The trail master, Brad Napier, avoids using chemicals and instead offers employment to trailbuilders to keep the trails clean and visible. It’s possible to session the Flow line and the Enduro line, which offers gravity riders some good stimulation.

Additional Trail Facts

Signage

The signage is good.

Grading

The trails aren’t specifically graded, but are predominantly Green and Blue level based on the IMBA standards.

Trails

Six different distances routes ideal for all levels of mountain biker.

 

Off the bike

The Asidlale Adventure Park is on the prison premises. There’s not really anything to do there other than ride the trail. There’s a cool drink/coffee shop and fresh breakfast buns on weekend mornings.

Summary

The trails are stimulating and challenging and a real breath of fresh air for the Joburg region. Joburg gravity riders also get a fresh line to carve without having to travel too far…

Awesome downhill tract, but not much else to offer. Poor trail markings.

Great new trail! Well manicured trails. Brilliant jumps. Moderate technical parts. Still extending the trails. Nice and convenient if you live in the North of Jhb.

I have been riding these trails for a few months now, they are continuously adding new trails, and some are very technical. Great training to improve your skills. With the addition of the new sections the course is now 45km with around 750m climbing so you have to work! There is a nice little coffee stop at the end, nothing fancy but a decent brew is available! The best part about this MTB park besides the trails is that it's so central, if you start riding at 6:30 you can be home and showered by 10:30am assuming you live in the Northern Suburbs. Since it's opening I have not been back to Northern Farm, Hennops, Red Barn etc....

The trail consists of mostly gravel roads. Lots of potential for single track, which we’ll hopefully see in the future. It includes a flowline, starting with some rocky sections at the top, flowing into dirt jumps. One could easily complete the majority of the trail on a gravel bike.

You need to shuttle or session the flowline and learn it to ride it well! Its a trail with a bit of everything, from tech rocky downhill style trail coming off the kopjie, to sets of big tables, tight intricate pop features, fast swooping berms, a forest bombhole, 4x4 alternate whoops and the testing Apex hip. The lower half is just a gentle gradient with smaller features. At 1.85km length and 105m descent, its the longest flowline in Joburg.
