Rydogg Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Here's a loop for the Cross Country guys on Table Mountain, around Deer Park. Nicknamed "The Deer". https://www.strava.com/segments/8767793?filter=overall Start at Deer Park parking. The gate is the start. Head up "Messy Climb". Just before the top, take a lefty down "Dick's drop".At the bottom, turn right and head back up towards the big tree along "Baby Head Alley". After the river crossing, take a right down "Tecky Rock Descent". At the bottom, turn left, over the river crossing and then right over the river again at the small dam, towards the parking. Just before the parking, take a left down "Short Rocks and Roots".At the bottom, turn right and climb up the single track back to the parking. Lots of short, steep climbs and technical single track. This is a great way to get some high intensity training and improve your bike handling skills. 3.9km. 150m climbing. 15 minutes is the time to beat! 4 laps in 1 hour! Let me know if anyone is keen to give it a go sometime.

But wouldn't mind a gentle recce to get a feel for for it & familiar with the route as this is not my regular hunting ground.
Rydogg Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 We will be riding this route on Monday morning, if anyone is interested. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/145716-tmb-mtb-monday-friday-rides/page-2
