braailegend Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 just moved to Middelburg(in the North [EDIT: Mpumalanga]) this week, from a Stellenbosch. Brought my bike with. I'm looking for some safe spots I can start to ride. I mostly ride light DH and aggressive single tracks, but middelburg seems kind of flat, haha.Any ideas where I can go and what bike shops are decent?
mike88 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 How did you end up there all the way from Stellenbosch?
GlockG4 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 GoCycles, it is next to wonderpak spar. The owner is Harry, go and talk to him about routes and group rides.
braailegend Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Stellenbosch is mountainbiking heaven, but one needs to work, haha... Lived in the western cape for 29years
mike88 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Sorry for asking...Middelburg Eastern Cape or Free State??
Brian Fantana Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Sorry for asking...Middelburg Eastern Cape or Free State??He said north, so it must be Middelburg Mpumalanga.

Bongoleo Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Go ride at Tranquilitas Adventure Farm, Waterval Boven Its an hours drive East on the N4.Everything you want right there.
MarcBurger Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Agreed 100%. Tranquilitas is awesome. not close enough for a daily ride, but well worth the weekend/day trip. Camp site is really good value as well.
nonky Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 You can also try Misty Valley - also an hour's drive and only ZAR35 - http://www.mistyvalleymtb.co.za/bike-trails.html Here's a good overview of trails in yr area: http://cycology371.com/mpumalanga-trails/
bees Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Middelburg...... Singletracks....Yes.Middelburg...... Downhill.....Nope.(It is similar to parts of the FS....Very Flat)Â Best chance would be to talk/ride with some of the locals. Go Cycles.....Would be a good place to start.
braailegend Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Havent been online in a while, but feel like riding this weekend. Anyone riding Saturday or Sunday? Dont really want to ride alone, a helmet is not protection enough, haha
Bongoleo Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Go Ride at Tranquilitas this weekend !!See even guys on Pink Bikes are perfectly safe there.Â
