  2. Hannah Barnes lives the mountain biker's dream. She competes in events like the Enduro World Series but in between she travels the world taking on adventurous races and exploring trails, all in the name of fun. Hannah recently visited Stellenbosch to shoot to film the latest episode in the Destinati...
  3. In this episode of Destination Trail, we follow Hannah Barnes and Miranda Miller as the pair ride the scorched wilderness of Stellenbosch, South Africa. A vast network of trails have existed here since the '90s, but after a massive fire scorched much of the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve in 2015, fresh...
  4. Fellow trail users, It’s been quite sometime since our last trail update. Almost all trails in Jonkershoek were destroyed by the recent fires. At it’s finest hour (pre-fires) 25km of single track existed in Jonkershoek. Positively moving forward, we commenced trail building on August 17. Our goal...
  5. Winter has delivered so many gorgeous days this year, but when it decides to rain... it POURS! Friday was one of those days & DH racing was not sounding like the best of ideas, the roads became rivers & the freshly burnt pine plantations had turned into a mush of mud & ash. A few riders braved the s...
  6. Early in 2015, the greater Cape Town area lost a few of its flagship trails due to wild fires. One of which was Jonkershoek - a piece of land with immense scenic beauty, and loads of trails for both hikers and mountain bikers. Months of downtime allowed for logging and getting the trails safe again,...
  7. Did anyone do the Jonkershoek MTB race yesterday? I was really disappointed by the route and organisation. When I complete the 25km route in just over 1 hour, you know the ride was too easy! The problem was that most of it was on roads, flat ones at that. There was only a short section in the...
  8. Just to report to all those who advised me on how to find the new section of singletrack in Jonkershoek....I followed the advice to the letter...got lost...climbed and climbed and climbed....and eventually realised I was not lost...saw a whole lot of bike tracks going though a muddy patch, followed...

  17. Lower canary
  18. Some people seem to think that the single track in Jonkershoek have direction restrictions. As far as I know this has never been the case in Jonkershoek (and as a local, I have been riding there for 10+ years). While one way traffic might make sense on some trails, this does not apply to the tr...
  19. There is currently a weekly night ride at Jonkershoek that TheCrow first advertised here on the hub, and any hubbers who want to join are welcome to come along. We meet at the gate at 6pm (though this can be changed) on Thursdays. The route and the pace are variable and dependant on the participa...
  20. Who is going to race?
  21. Rode the two new trails above top Canary at Jonkers this weekend. What a blast - fast and flowy - we couldn't stop smiling for the next few hours. Also rode the recently (I think) refurbished Ellioty (spelling?) - brilliant. Also the fire hut trails down through the pine plantation. Schweet! as alw...
  22. Hi, Has anybody started in Jonkershoek and rode over the mountains at the back to Fraanshoek? I am quite keen to do it and sleep in the mountains while at it.... Some advice and ideas would be appreciated! Thanks
  23. So riding up Jonkershoek yesterday, lower canary.. my mate got shot by a couple paintballers while making his way up there. Who can we contact about this? We have bruises as proof. He was also wearing a trail helmet and not a full face which could result in blindness quite easily with some well ai...

  25. Hey all, Was at hoogekraal this morning having a chat with three guys I met at the parking (I wonder if any of you are here...). I have never been to Jonkershoek, but they said the single track there is longer and maybe even a little funnerer than hoogekraal. What do you guys think? I'm having t...
