Hi We are planning our December holiday. It will be mostly touring around by car but we’d like to get a few MTB rides in along the way. The idea we have at the moment is fly into Lanseria and drive up to Cradle of Mankind. We will need to rent bikes and have confirmed they have a limited number there for hire. Then perhaps a day trip to Big Red Barn. Haven’t looked at this much but sounds like they have bike rentals and looks family friendly - we have a 12 year-old with us. Then we’d like to head across to Hoedspruit and Kruger. I’ve been in contact with someone in Hoedspruit that can hopefully set us up with bikes. Is there anywhere en route between Cradle of Mankind and Hoedspruit that is worth stopping for a day of riding that has bikes for rent? So far I’ve haven’t been able to find bike rental between the 2 so haven’t looked for trails. Happy to extend the stay in Gauteng if there are other trail areas worth checking out. Criteria will be bike rental and not too much elevation gain. Potentially also looking at heading over to Ponta do Ouro so anything in northern KZN would also be an option. Thank you. Stu

Hey everyone! I and my partner are interested in travel (just a bit) around Cape Town after the race ends. We would like to do the Garden Route by car. Does anyone know safe ways to save our bikes (despite the original hotels we booked at Cape Town)? Thanks in advance !

Could anyone cast some light on the best way to package / transport bikes for international flights? My bike is full carbon (MTB) and we plan to fly via Italy to Slovenia in August. Is a bike box sufficient, or should we purchase bags? Renée

It's our first time doing Sani2C this year. Super excited! Looking at different travel options - with fuel prices increasing, it's impacting on cost of driving and flying 🙄 At this point, flying is looking like the cheaper option. But was wondering if there's a minibus with a trailer that transports people and bikes from Cape Town to Sani2C and back? Any travel suggestions welcome.

Hi all, I will be flying to the US with Qatar. I have a Scicon aerocomfort road bike bag. Will this be accepted with Qatar? Is it necessary to turn the handlebars around or can I put my bike in as is with handlebars in place in the Scicon bag? Thanks!

With international travel not really on the cards for the foreseeable future, you probably aren’t the only one looking out for some local options for a weekend away with the family. Local travel is the perfect way to satisfy that travel craving and let’s be honest, we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. People travel from all over the world to visit what we have right on our doorstep. View full article

Any South Africans still travelling to Rome? With the weaker rand it's probably one of the better places to go in Europe. Food and accommodation pricing is similar to SA. If you're travelling with family and need a 'rest day' from tourist stuff, consider an Escape from Rome day ride: https://clubsuiveur.com/3718-2/

I thought it made sense to start a thread with some of the photos of our trip in Northern Thailand. We’re doing it with Trailhead out of Chiang Mai. 6 days / 6 nights. Each day takes us further north into more remote areas. Day 1 is the easiest day and involved crossing a lake and then riding through some of the thickest mud I have ever encountered through the forest. It was tons of fun and we ended it off with a little road section through rice paddies and blue skies. Total distance was 46km with 551m of climbing.
