Bottelary Hills MTB Trails

Fabian 46 refer to the above image regarding "blue route". All maps online and on-route will be updated as soon as we are done with all trail builds for the year, quite a bit going on right now. Hoping to have everything in order by end September.

The new section of single track is open. Just be careful when riding it over the weekend as it needs compacting. Also be on the lookout for possible "green death" (algae). We have tried to remove most of it, but there might be a spot of two left with green death still lurking.

 

If you are riding the red route from the Radish restaurant side, the entrance to the new single track is about 50 meters before you get to where the yellow route splits from the red route just after the long climb on red. There is a map attached to a pole that explains the different options (see below), as well as big temporary blue arrows on a yellow background that will guide you to the start.

 

Where is that on this map?

Busy with another 2,5 km of stunning single track - hoping to open it up for riding by the end of September. Best news of all - the whole distance is either flat or downhill!!

this membership is best money spent in a long time !

That new piece of single trek (blue route ?) going uphill as a short cut on the red route is a fantastic build and rides like a dream !

Can't wait to see the next new track section now being developed !

Thanks Guys .... such great trails.

 

I just wish you could find a way of building a route in and along the mountain for the red route return section (after the green route). After all the fun going out west, the trail back east to Radish is such an anticlimax !

 

Thanks for the constant work extending the trails !

You should maybe park at Hazendal and do the red route from there. +/- 40kms

What I do now is go back up on the green to the pine trees, then left on the green to purple (you can add the shorter pine ST loop that exit back onto purple) then follow purple to yellow/red back to the bottom of the new blue. That cut the 'keien' sections out

Thanks for all the work guys!

Some friends and myself are going on Sunday. We enter from the JC Le Roux side. Permits at the hotel close by. Extremely friendly lady at the desk there. Then lunch after at the pizza place that has a pond outside.

Where be this pizza place? Woodfired on a real thin base?

I hope this is the new yellow route.

Waiting in anticipation!
