    Logo and all, now we're talking! Coming to ride your MTB in the Garden Route? Not sure where all the cool trails are or how to get the most out of your ride? Sounds like you need Rent a Riding Buddy! (Super Hero costume still in the design phase) I have a 5 seater van and bike trailer that can accommodate 4 riders, bikes and luggage should you need to be collected from your accommodation or even the George airport. Let me know the type of riding and specific area you’re interested in and I’ll make sure you have the best bang for buck experience. My personal favourite is single track, the downer the better, but I enjoy all kinds of riding including a bit of gravel grinding. Along with post ride beer, coffee or G&T – SO fashionable right now I tell you. Services offered: Showing you the good stuff, including swimming holes on a hot day. Collection and drop off. Gravel riding - passes in the area or breakfast/sundowner cruise. LIGHT road riding – my gravel monster isn’t the fastest beast on the road. Frank discussion concerning not letting your bravado overtake your skill set... Skills Training – grownups or kids. Basic bike setup Advice on non-bike related tourist activities, unofficially. Pricing depends on services required as well as area. Let me know what you’d like to do with how many of your friends and I’ll work out an itinerary and cost. Even if it's something I haven't done before, with enough prior notice I'll research and test ride before you arrive. Contact details: Rika Olivier rika@earthfire.co.za 083 407 9657 – WhatsApp works best, my cell signal isn’t great. Pictures by Eric Palmer.

    When planning our trip to Knysna about 2 weeks after the devastating fires of June 2017, we struggled to find information about the trails after the fires. Even in the town, we found differing opinions on the conditions of the trails. We have now ridden some of the trails and, amazingly, most of the trails actually escaped damage. Here is what we found: Harkerville: The yellow, blue and green routes are rideable. The red route is closed but you can still get a decent ride in by combining the blue and green route. On the green route you do go through areas that are completely burnt out (but rideable) and even in the forests on the blue route we came across the odd burnt out tree. Areas near the coast are where the damage is. Homtini: After driving through complete burnt out moonscapes, the Homtini trail is is unscathed and sheer pleasure to ride. Well worth the drive out. Petrus Se Brand: Not ridden yet but apparently unscathed. Garden Route Trail Park: Still on the agenda but apparently unscathed. Not ridden, hopefully others can add for Kom Se Pad and Concordia Road (apparently rideable but lots of damage along the way)

    About an hour's drive further up the coast from last month's Trail Daze destination, we re-visited the now world-famous Garden Route Trail Park, to round off our trip up the N2. Click here to view the article

    The Fest Crew made their way down to South Africa to take on the infamous Pure Darkness jumps. Sam Reynolds, with the help of Nico Vink & Clemens Kaudela, revived the beasts and added a few more to the party and what a party it was! In true Fest fashion, these boys went faster, higher and bigger than ever! With features like a 60ft roll in, 55ft gaps and a 35ft lip that sends you 25ft into the air it is definitely not one to be missed! Click here to view the article

    A weekend of jumps, enduro, whips, fires, and laughs are the story at Dawn Of The Dirt 2016. Justin Novella (with a few helping hands) built a fresh new line to accompany the original jumps from last year at the Garden Route Trail Park. We had some issues with the dirt at the last minute, but the boys pulled together and we had the jumps running fast and fun by Sunday. South Africa's top shredders in BMX and MTB were progressing their tricks all weekend sending new stuff. I can't wait to see what happens next year. Click here to view the article

    Monster Energy's Dawn of the Dirt returns to The Garden Route Trail Park between the 9th & 11th December. An awesome day on bikes in one of the country's best bike parks, covering a fun enduro, a pump track challenge, whip off and the crowd favourite a MTB & BMX dirt jump competition. With camping facilities a stone's throw away from the jumps and pump track, it promises to be one of the most fun events of the year. Click here to view the article

    Pure Darkness was first unleashed on the world in 2014 as Sam Reynolds, Matt Macduff and Danny Pace took to the road in the UK with one goal; to film in their words the ‘darkest’ MTB project ever. What that came to mean for the rest of the world was the most heavy hitting, action packed riding edit that salutes the early era of freeride MTB film making. Click here to view the article

    Finally going to the Garden Route Trail Park tomorrow. Feel like a kid going to Disneyland! Don't expect there to be many people to talk to on a Wednesday, so if any of you have been there recently: anything to look out for, not to miss parts, or advice on what parts to ride? Will post some pics and maybe a video.

    The annual Rocky Mountain Rocky Forest Fest took place this past weekend at the Garden Route Trial Park, just outside Knysna. With a variety of not-so-serious events taking place during the course of the weekend, with the idea of getting riders a chance to test out some Rocky Mountain bikes, the main feature was the first ever timed Garden Route Trail Park Enduro.

    Guarded by the majestic Outeniqua mountain range and the Karatara river gorge, the Garden Route trail park is located about 5 hours of scenic driving from Cape Town, or just 40km from the ever popular town of Knysna. Owner and trail builder, Rob Dormehl, has put together a high quality MTB destination that should be on any avid mountain biker's bucket list. Click here to view the article

    There has been a lot of talk about the Garden Route Trail Park lately, so much so that Monster Energy Cape Town decided to take a road trip to find out first hand what it’s like. After a long drive, we were finally greeted by a sign letting us know we were in the right place. Click here to view the article

    The Pure Darkness team visited the Garden Route Trail Park while down to compete in The Night Harvest in March. Rob Dormehl (the man behind the Trail Park) had big plans for their visit and surprised the riders with a gargantuan pit. Rob and the lads set to work to create possibly the biggest mountain bike dirt jump step up Africa has ever seen. Pure Darkness 2 documents the madness that ensued. Click here to view the article
