nazmo Posted August 8, 2014 Share Hi All, weekend of the 23rd August, I will be at the champagne resort on a company retreat. I do however hope to get some riding done and would like to know if there are any trails and bike rental recommendations. i have no idea where to even start, The resort website says they have mountain biking but they dont sound very clued up. Any advice welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnega Posted August 8, 2014 Share Give Mountain Splendour a shout (http://www.mountainsplendour.co.za/). They have a decent 10km trail (not awesome, just okay) and bike hire. They may be able to advise of other trail options. nazmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ians H2Sport Posted August 8, 2014 Share Go to Mountain Splendour just down the road. Owned and run my multi sport athletes Iain and Sue Don-Wauchope. They have some great single track on their property but also take rides into the forests and surrounding areas. Young chap by the name of Sanele works there, he is a great rider and often takes the more advanced riders. Look them up.

Pusher Posted August 8, 2014 Share I did some riding at All Out Adventures at the beginning of the year and they have some awesome trails. Might be a bit far though from where you will be. http://www.alloutadventures.co.za/ Edited August 8, 2014 by Pusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted August 10, 2014 Share I was there last weekend. There were two places we couldn't decide on so we ended up doing both. We did Dragons peak in the morning and we were blown away! it is right by boys choir. Speak to the guy about doing as long a route as possible. I think we did something>black>blue>red>orange. Really amazing ride with some hairy bits. We did Mountain splendour afterwards. If you have to do one, dragons peak! JPD and nazmo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted August 25, 2014 Share While on the subject of the drakensberg. We spent the weekend at Riverlea cottage in Underberg, and if you are looking for a lekker place to unwind with access to great trails (sani spoors) on your doorstep then look them up. I left my bike at home but went for a trail run on the trails and they are great. - lots of dams on your doorstep for fly fishing too..if thats your thing edit...its pretty *** http://photos-c.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/10616811_731982613516178_1987784097_n.jpg Edited August 25, 2014 by Stretch ByronH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronH Posted August 26, 2014 Share Sani Spoors is an amazing trail in the Drakensberg.. probably one of the best! Properly fun.

Izak Posted August 26, 2014 Share Yeah it's a proper place! This was at Dragons peak when we went. Very cool trails there Red and black being favourites. Go up and around with red the first time and then when coming back around do the black route down, then climb up the short but leg busting black climb onto the red route.Repeat as many times as you'd like. Here's some video footage of both runs.Red Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
