Hogsback and Cycle Roots!

Recommended Posts

My girlfriend and I stayed over in Hogsback for 1.5 days, on our way back to Bloem from Chinsta, two weeks ago. We explored the town and the surroundings on our bikes, I really cant wait to get back there!

 

I gave Neels, from Cycle Roots adventures, a call the one morning to hook us up with trail maps. After meeting him at his house and a map in the bag, we headed off into the forests. We mostly rode gravel roads to get up to where the singletracks start, but hell was in worth it. We only had time to do the Puffadder Run, and it was n blast. This place is magical, I would recommend any adventurist trail rider nature lover to go check it out.

 

Thanks to Neels for his friendly service, we will see you again soon. Below some photos of some of the sights. I had to decrease the images sizes, so sorry if they look crappy.

Hogsback is a lovely place. The Lord of the Chainrings 3-day stage event based there remains one of my favourites in terms of location.

We already there, long time! Its where I fell in love with mtb, 20+ years ago now (eek)

 

Friends were there over New Year, would loved to have joined them, but couldn't get away.

 

There is just so many mtb options there, it's sick. Good potential for a massive downhill route as well.
