We're staying at Boschendal in November for our wedding anniversary. Flying down for the weekend and not packing the bike.

Are there any bike rentals available in the area?

 

Also, don't forget Ride In cafe in Jonkershoek. My favorite coffee stop. They have a range of the latest Specialized bikes.

Hey guys,

Maybe you can help - whom knows Boschendal's trails well?

I rode the black  XL yesterday following the map and black arrows.  Route came to around 24km, and not the 33km that it is supposed to be. I missed a small section due to trail markings not indicating the exact turnoff, and then having to guess a section. But that in total, based on the maps, could not have been more than 2kms.

What does the little half circle arrows on the map mean? Go around again? Surely that would amount closer to 40km, maybe more.

I have no idea - map legends, go figure.

Ja, markings are a problem there, so it's a bit of an adventure ride at the moment.  I think if you loop back to do the dedicated blue descent into its little jumpline it'll be the 33km or close to it.  Sick trails though!
