Cape Town (Bellville) and Pietermaritzburg MTB trails

Guys

 

From Jan I will be in CT and PMB pretty much every week. I am keen to leave a MTB in each location or to look at a regular rental, in order to get some training in whilst away from home. If anyone could suggest any routes and also any permissions I may need to get in those two areas, I would be very appreciative. Happy to stay in b&b's a bit out of town if this facilitates riding in the evenings.

no permits or fees required in and around PMB - Grace college trails, Hilton Forests Trails, Worlds View, Cascades

 

Other side of town is Intaba ridge - I think you need a permit there

 

Howick - you need to sign indemnity at the hospital and leave a donation if you want

 

Karkloof - indemnity and fee - R50

 

if you can't find a place to store your bike - I am sure I could oblidge
