ewaldsadie Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 As part of the Winelands region of South Africa, the greater Stellenbosch area features an abundance of trails, one of which is the Bottelary Hills trails network. Covering a total of 76km, these trails offer scenic beauty and incredible views of the winelands, Table Mountain and False Bay, and combines a variety of different elements to form a well rounded MTB destination. The network can be accessed from 7 different starting points, all of which sell day passes and something to eat or drink, and it also happens to be a few hundred meters from my doorstep.

Gazzan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Rode there a few weeks back. Loads of fun and great views. Tip - Top up on sealant there are bucket loads of devil thorns.
jaypaul Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I tend to ride solo in Tokai where the security is pretty good (well at least I used to feel safe there despite a couple of bike-jacks). How's the security on these trails? After these photos, I am seriously thinking about hitting these trails but again, I tend to ride solo so security is important. Anyone?

No incidents since we opened the route in 2011. Lots of solo riders.
