I have noticed quite a number of cyclists around Babsfontein when I pass through. I would like to explore the area a bit. If I start in Babsfontein, where do I head out for a lekker exploring 30/40 km without transgressing onto private property and staying off the paved surfaces? a GPS file will be most welcome. Anyone?

UPDATE: Here are the KML and GPX files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7py1v9wpimbinak/AAC9jc7-Zn3XR0jLdsLnsNhOa?dl=0 On android I have opened the files in the dropbox app and this then opened google earth. I managed to import the GPX files into garmin connect by selecting "Activities", then "Import". After the GPX file is uploaded click on the gear icon and then "Save as Course" where you can create a course to send to your device. Here is another guide for android and iphone: http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/guide-using-gps-on-android-iphone/ Here are googleearth files (KML) of the red and black routes at Paul Cluver. The KML files are very accurate and can be used for GPS navigation. I had to zip the files as kml files are not allowed. Let me know if you have trouble and I can send them to you. I converted the KML files to TCX and GPX using http://www.gpsies.com and GPSBabel and tried uploading to garmin connect to make a route, but with not much success. When I get this right I will upload these files. There are higher resolution zipped google earth and route maps. The line drawing route map contains all the options, turnoffs and routes. This is the best one to print out for reference when on the trails.

Remember to get the amphitheatre gate combination from the guard at the entrance to the farm when paying. There is a bike park with some obstacles in the amphitheatre and blue and green routes. The green route is about 3 kms perfect for small kids, the blue route is short, but does contain technical singletrack. Paul_Cluver_color_map_final_Jan_2015.zip Google Earth Map.zip

I hope I can find the help I need :-) I have the Garmin Fenix5, very happy but don't know where to find other files. When I used the Polar, I could go see other peoples rides, anywhere in the world. If you liked it you could save it, add to my device then do the exact route. at this point I just want to add files around the Cape, more specifically MTB routes. Can someone please assist me. Thanks and have an awesome day

Good morning Hubbers! Anyone with a Lezyne Mega C or similar? I dearly would like to know how to turn off the Navigation and Maps screen, as well as the home screen for that matter. It's rather annoying during a ride when it cycles through the screens and this pops up. Naturally when I do need it (like at an Audax for example) I will enable it again. I'm used to an Edge 520, and disabling/enabling those screens is straight forward. Thanks!

Im training for the SANI and need to increase my ride distances (pretty bored of doing laps at Thaba.) Does anyone have any outride maps or info for trails around JHB south? I know that one can ride out towards blockhouse etc. but would prefer to follow a map vs playing it by luck. Any suggestions?
