24.5 miles
Probably one of my most beautiful trails in the Western
Cape. The owners of this farm go out of their way to constantly maintain these
trails and make it safe and comfortable for the mountain bikers. The scenery is

with the scenery. The one minute you are in...more

No shortage of exploring and you can keep yourself busy for...more

Once again a stunning place here in the Western Cape. Another one of my favourite trails and an abundance of single tracks. I found quite a few guys up there playing on it with there downhill bikes. I'm not fit and purely doing these rides to relax and get out of the city and into nature, but what fascinated me was the fact that these guys cycled these heavy downhill machines up...more
