Oak Valley Blue route : SIMILAR

[pierre.s]

Hi all

 

This is a question to all that is familiar with the Oak Valley blue route (the short route).

 

My wife and I are very unfit at this stage and are looking for a similar route to this one, very flat and non technical, to start getting the legs moving and the heart pumping again. We are comfortable with Oak Valley blue and know it well, but are looking for another alternative.

 

The only other one that we do is Jonkershoek traditional circle route, which is only 11km.

 

What else is there that is below 20km and not tooooo much climbing ? Preferably direction Paarl, Wellington and Grabouw ?

 

Thanks !

Have you had a look at Welvanpas trails? Maybe a bit more climbing that you'd like, but awesome trails...

Go check out the wannabee trails in somerset west. Not technical and you can go ride anything from a few kilometers to 100+.

Thanks Raydek. That 15km one sounds just like the thing to start with ! It would actually be a good thing to upgrade slightly from the flat routes (No pain, no gain !)

 

Thanks lerouc, I know about the Wannabees and their extensive trails along the farms between Somerset West and Stellenbosch, but I don't want to join the club just yet. I want us to get a bit more fit before joining. Although I remember hearing something about a day route on Somerbosch ?

You can buy day permits from a number of locations and then go try out the trails before becoming a member. Send me a PM if you want more information.
