boink Posted April 17, 2014 Share Hey Hubbers Its late in the day but can anyone suggest routes or scenic district roads to ride in the Velddrif & Berg river area? If you have a GPX that would be great, if not I will prob just head out and explore and hopefully not encounter any grumpy farmers or military bases Enjoy the long weekend.

Leon O Posted September 2, 2019 Share Not in Velddrift itself, but out towards St Helena Bay there are a couple of places I have seen MTB take to the veld.From Velddrift to St Helena Bay, there is a butchery. Next to it there is a route up towards the wind turbines, just don't know where it heads to. I have seen a couple of MTB's go up this route.Will roam the area in December.Then from St Helena, there is a lekka sandy road to Paternoster.I have done the latter, about 40km there and back, with nice ups and downs, soft sand and corrugated road.So, if you want to go from Velddrift, it should be about 70k's to Paternoster and back?
