Omar Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 chat to the guys at manic cycles in w'cester, lots of mtb trails (i hear)
MCCC Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Hi there Have they repaired the access road yet? It was very badly damaged in the flood and as far as I can tell, the campsited also took quite a beating. As for the Trout..... They got the worst of it and are probably in the Witsand area by now. The river really took a beating in the flood. If you've been there before you won't recognise the river at all. It will take a very long time for the river to recover. Enjoy the trip. MC

Follow the path on the northern shore, hook a right at the river. There will be a few UN Ryde a bill bits, but it gets you all the way to the N1
milky4130 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Same Same, any local Hubbers hear that can reccommend trails open to the public in Slanghoek & Rawsonville areas. Will be in the area for a couple days between Christmas & New Year.

milky4130 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Information regarding routes for this area is rather lacking so, I'll just leave these 2 links I've found thus far in case anyone needs them in the future. http://www.slanghoek.co.za/slanghoek-mtb-route http://www.dutoitskloof.co.za/Page.aspx?PAGEID=3001&Type=Sense+of+Place&CLIENTID=1088&Title=SENSE+OF+PLACE There is also Slanghoek Mountain Resort that has a 5km XCO loop only but definitely worthwhile.
milky4130 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 https://www.instagram.com/p/BcY4Q1cAZdC/?hl=en&taken-by=conradstoltzdo you have any other details about this? links, maps etc.
paarlmtb Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 do you have any other details about this? links, maps etc.Nope, but think he mentions the Wine Estate, perhaps contact them or the Caveman himself. What he built at Old Bethlehem is pretty cool so sure it will be worth the effort to find out

Bos Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Hey Guys. Yes plenty of riding around Worcester every weekend. If you want group rides you might want to travel to town. Most rides leaving from the Big gumtrees by the N1/Golfcourse corner at 6 or 7am on Saturdays.
