Rietvlei nature reserve?

[Anine]

Hi All

 

Has anybody been to the rietvlei nature reserve recently?

We're looking for a flattish, easy +- 20km ride for saturday morning.

There every weekend, the green route is about 13km's, fairly simple except for 1 or 2 steep climbs, the blue route (VERY TECHNICAL) will be somewhat longer, nothing wrong with doing the green twice, awesome ride

[mikeMT]

The yellow route is very flat, but only about 5-6km's, you can add the bullrun to it and that will double up the distance.

Only one entrance with nice car park where all trails initially start together up a small climb and then split either left (green/blue) or right (yellow)
