Frosty Posted November 5, 2014 Share Hopefully I'm not duplicating something already done. While completing my annual leave form (December holidays), for HR, it got me thinking about my ride plans for December. Considering I plan to be 1600Km away from my normal (sometimes boring) training routes, I thought it might be useful to know where other hubbers will be riding (not only for me, but for everyone planning on riding at their holiday destinations). I know there are the various threads already listing where group rides take place, but this can be one central place for the December holiday rides only (say 15-Dec to 05-Jan, give or take a few days). Kleinmond, WC, is my base for 2 weeks - so a few rides to GB/Somerset West, Hermanus, or at Oak Valley/Lebanon Forests are on my list. No skinny wheels for me this year, but I'm willing to join a road ride if there are any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frohan Posted November 5, 2014 Share You must definitely do the Hermanus Hemel en Aarde trails at Hermanus. http://www.hermanusadventures.co.za/trails/ Edited November 5, 2014 by Frohan Frosty and BenReaper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted November 5, 2014 Share Anyone coming down to the Highway/DBN area, feel free to get in touch with me for some rides. I'm always keen to meet new hubbers, and we've got a very cool club here for social group mtb and road rides in the area. Scotty P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier87 Posted November 5, 2014 Share You must add Kogelberg nature reserve to your list. It is just outside of Kleinmond and is a lovely ride early in the morning. You could be back home by 10:00 and still do the beach thing with the rest of the family. (The gates only open around 07:00 so don't go too early.) Last year the MTB route was closed due to floods, but I suppose they will have fixed it 12 months down the line. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest notmyname Posted November 5, 2014 Share I'll be in Hermanus from the 19th till the 23rd if you're keen for Hemel en aarde. The mates I'm seeing down there are allergic to bikes so it would be rad to ride a new trail. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And according to their website, (notice the mountain bike riders pictures) the trail is closed. I suspect they have been wanting bikers out of their for some time. A few years ago there was big issues with bikers using roads to go onto neighbouring property and the neighbours didn't like that ! http://www.capenature.co.za/reserves/kogelberg-nature-reserve/ Also, this is Cape Nature .....
