Karooryder Posted December 12, 2014 Share A quick question (apologies if I'm repeating an exsisting thread). I will be in Cape Town for about a week after new years and for the first time my MTB will be travelling with. Being a Gautie I always hear of all the cool places to ride but never take note. Having never MTB's in the Cape, I'm looking at hitting as many of the good spots as possible in and around the Cape Peninsula. Which are the ones not to miss?

KarlvN Posted December 12, 2014 Share The spruit... okay, okay, calm down...I am only kidding. Tygerberg Hills: Meerendal, Contermans, Hoogekraal only for non-members at R30,00 per trail per person day permit - and remember..NO rogue riding ( this goes for all who are interested to ride our super trails over the festive season...We have some landowners who frown on that sort of behavior and we would be rather miffed at losing some trails as result of some "ingat" MTB'ers...

Alouette3 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Jonkershoek, even if you leave out all the rest. Tokai In both cases it does help knowing where the good singletrack is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted December 12, 2014 Share Yep, for Jonkers and Tokia the best thing is getting to know where in these areas the single track that suits your riding is! Best to find a willing local to show you or at least ask some people at the gate which jeep track to follow to get where you want to. Jonkers has a trail called neverendingstory for obvious reasons when you have done it! I ride this every time I go there! Check out some maps at the irideafrica.co.za site to get familiar with some paths. Enjoy the time in the Cape! Karooryder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Cape and can't wait to (in true "surfer style"), pack my bike, my gear and my adrenalin and head into the mountains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko35s Posted December 12, 2014 Share Heya Hairy. As per my (still very very tenative planning) a night or 2 in Blouberg, Sea Point and Stellies.Thats within easy driving distance (30 minutes tops) of all the trails already mentioned.If you want a very slow guide around Tokai give me a shout, I basically live there.
