Trail Daze: Grabouw

[ewaldsadie]

Named after the German town Grabow, the small town of Grabouw sits about 1.5 hours drive away from Cape Town, in the vast Elgin Valley. Known for being the largest single exporter or fruits in Southern Africa, it has also hosted numerous mountain biking, trail running and other adventure sporting events over the years. As a results of this, the trail network seems to be never-ending and the backdrop never ceases to amaze.

I've been to Lebanon with that forest, rocky narrow singletrack just above the forest, and flat singletrack toward the dam.

 

But what and where is that porcupine place and that other section you guys hike'd up to get to that white dry area.?

[TAAHIRWP]

Lebanon forest has so much potential.

I am pretty sure that is A-Z at the Country Club.

Missed the Xterra at Grabouw this year and some of those pics confirm I'll be back next year. The rock garden alone is work the trip from kzn.

I am so happy that I did the TruCape 50km race this past weekend so that I could finally see the beauty of the grabouw region.

 

It really is 1 of the most beautiful mtb races around the WC.

Btw - Grabouw is under a hour's drive from Cape Town.
