Warren Melissa Go Riding

I suppose we dont see ourselves as influencers, as generally those people do what they do for personal benefit, well at least in our eyes. Our intent is different. We focus outward instead of inward.

Guys, we definitely dont see ourselves as influencers hahahaha. We just trying to do our bit to give back and get bums on seats.

We built this for you. IMG_3085.MOV 🌍 wmgoriding.com is live The Western Cape's free MTB trail hub directory. 29 hubs, 200+ videos, permit info, trail grades and everything you need to ride with confidence. No paywalls. No subscriptions. Just riding.

Deal hahahaha

I see you might or might not have found something hahahahaha

I feel you, life is so busy at the moment, we both have demanding day jobs and a 3 year old and just bought a new place 🤣 This was just a little passion project that turned into this. Funny thing is, we just got off a call with a timing provider who will be doing permit purchases for most of the trails in the Western Cape straight from their site. We planning to link into their site from ours, so it will truly be a one stop shop for all riders. Exciting times

Hello, MTB Routes is a brilliant resource and we have massive respect for what Jacques and the team have built over the years. It covers the whole country and does it well. What we do is different in a few ways: We are laser focused on the Western Cape specifically. Not the whole country, just the 29 trail hubs within reach of Cape Town and surrounds. That focus means we can go much deeper on each one. Every hub on wmgoriding.com has current permit prices, where to buy them, getting there directions with GPS, seasonal riding tips, trail grade breakdowns and our own YouTube videos all in one place. You don't need to cross-reference three different sites and a Facebook group to figure out if you need a permit and where to park. The other big difference is the video. Our whole channel is built around showing you exactly what riding each hub actually feels like before you go. That's the Weekend Warrior series, ride-alongs so you arrive knowing the trails, not guessing. We're not trying to be MTB Routes. We're trying to be the thing specifically for our community here in the Western Cape that we always wished existed. Different tools for different jobs and we're grateful both exist. Hope that makes sense W&M

We've been building something we wish had existed when we started riding. A completely free website covering every major MTB trail hub in the Western Cape. Permits, access info, trail grades and our videos all in one place. 29 hubs. 200+ videos. Free forever. Tag a riding mate who needs this. We launch SOON 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️ W&M A massive thanks to our amazing partners.

Hi Guys, Our first time riding W2W in the ebike category. For those who have done it before, what mode did you use? Also, if you dont mind adding your bike model. Would love the advice. We want to make sure we can get to WP2 without dying hahaha Thanks W&M

🚴‍♀️ Melissa is back at it! This time she takes on the infamous SS7 trail section at Contermanskloof on the Tygerberg MTB network. Back on the bike after her accident, she’s slowly rebuilding confidence and fitness — and today, she takes over the mic to share the ride from her perspective. This ride forms part of her Wines2Whales training journey, and SS7 definitely tested her flow, nerves, technical ability and determination. 💪 👉 Bonus tip: if you head out to Contermanskloof, don’t skip the Dairy Shed — they serve the best carrot cake you’ll find anywhere. Perfect trail fuel (or reward)! 🥕🍰 For more info, check out https://www.facebook.com/groups/184405261611631/ 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss the next ride in our MTB adventure series!

Hey Girls and Guys! This week we are back in the beautiful south for Part 3 of our Tokai MTB Adventure. Today we ride the Cobra trail which has overtaken the Bridal path as our favorite trail on the mountain. The Cobra is the first of the snake trails and starts on the same contour as DH0. Its super rocky and technical and has one or two tight turns. Please check it out and go give it a go. Its super rewarding once you get it right! Also... Keep watching as we do a second run and include all the snake trails. It has to be one of the BEST descents in Cape Town! We loved every second of it. The guys at Tokai MTB is doing a great job so please head down there and go check it out! For more info, check out https://tokaimtb.co.za/ Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed filming it.
