CMDC Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 A huge thanks to the PPA and everyone else involved for the spectacular routes. A lot of work has gone into these routes and it is massively appreciated.
TYGA Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Jan and his team from Euodia Cycles at the Wine Village in Hermanus were the drivers behind the routes in this area. I rode there a few times this December...these guys have put in huge effort so plus one on the thanks.
Caerus Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I'm hoping to ride there today & tomorrow, weather permitting though as it's raining cats and dogs here at the moment and loads of mist as well.
Caerus Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 What is it like to ride here on your own? Are the trails well marked.
dre Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 What is it like to ride here on your own? Are the trails well marked. Yep, well marked if you look up from time to time. Remember to ALWAYS follow the black arrows.
ValeYellow Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 the trails are magnificent - spent nearly every day of my holiday riding the various trails, highlight was the Waterfall route and the W2W river single track - poured with rain the last 4 days i was down there, but it made riding just that much more fun. Enjoy, oh and if you are up to it, ride up Rotary Drive till you get to the signal towers (dirt road on your right once you reach the summit) ride past the towers (keep left of them) and follow the path wich very soon turns into an adrenalin rush from the MTB gods - this is the old DH track If you have any questions re the trails or where else to ride, chat to Riaan at Euodia Cycles - they are opposite the Hemel en Aarde Estate (very convenient as we stayed in the estate )
Jacques Viljoen Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 What is it like to ride here on your own? Are the trails well marked. Yes well marked. And yes Black route is a must
Caerus Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Yes well marked. And yes Black route is a must I'm there this Sunday, can't wait, as I didn't get to ride the last time due too adverse weather
Jacques Viljoen Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 You buy your permit @Euodia Cycles I'm sure they should have maps there,
Jacques Viljoen Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I'm there this Sunday, can't wait, as I didn't get to ride the last time due too adverse weather You will enjoy it, Just ask at the shop, there is a water crossing that we skipped last weekend due to strong water but I'm sure they will be able to tell you if it is safe to cross
Caerus Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 You buy your permit @Euodia Cycles I'm sure they should have maps there, What happens if I'm riding on Sunday, how would I get a permit. Is there an honesty board?
TYGA Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I'm there this Sunday, can't wait, as I didn't get to ride the last time due too adverse weather The riding is well worth while, keep a look out for Puffies...saw two on my last ride there, one of which I saw too late to do anything about other than some half arsed half baked attempt at an unintended one-footer bunnyhop in my attempt to miss it.

Eish, will do. I will be riding alone as well. Does it get fairly busy on weekends?
