I am going to Bethlehem in a few weeks to family. Wanna hop on my bike at Reitz and ride to Behlehem.

Are there Sand roads, jeep track etc along that route.?

 

Saturday I wanna do a loop from Bethlehem, 50-100km. Any routes from there and out. MTB/Mixed. I dont wanna use the car, know clarens down the road, then I will ride to there

I live in Bethlehem, Wolhuterskop is the best, I ride there weekly, there are a lot of great trails and single track around here, not really sure about routes from Reitz to here but I can find out for you! Just by the way Lamber is incorrect it is not free to go into wolhuterskop unless you are a member of the club or go in illegally but its only a R15 entrance!

Thanks alot. That is fine, I will pay, just wanna do some riding around the area. Lived there 2000 - 2003, so can't remember all the places.

 

Even if i must ride road from Reitz I dont mind, maybe go out the back way to Kestell just to make it longer....

 

the Longer I'm on the road, the less time with Mother In Law!!!! :devil:

We entered the reserve before 6am, definetly didn't jump any fence to entered illegally and there were no person in sight to collect money. Will drive around for a few more loops next time to look for someone to give my money to and even pay double- it was worth it :)

 

Had to leave for Clarens early- but look for additional single tracks, i heard there's plenty.

To Reitz, just tar with the occasional path here and there, to Clarens you are in the same boat unless you know the framers along that stretch and the workers open a gate for you, that is a lovely ride all the way to Clarens.

Wolutherskop is your best choice.
