closest to you is contermanskloof as far as i know, very good trails but more importantly theres a shop there called This Way Out, speak to the people inside the shop (literally anyone you talk to, employee or otherwise, will be able to help, but talking to the shop's owners is probably ideal) and they will be able to advise you on facebook groups to join (WP Downhill is a good start) and other places to ride, such as jonkershoek, blackhill or paarl

Duane Bosch (Alpine Addiction) organize most of the paid DH shuttle days in the WP region. Contact him here on the hub: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum/user/83454-duane-bosch/

 

If you and your buddies want to organize your own shuttle days there is loads of places to ride including: Helderberg Trails (Steilte), Paarl Taal Monument (Very quick and tarred shuttle road.) ; Contermanskloof and Cascades Manor.

You can also push your bike to the start of the new black trail at Jonkershoek...a mission, but from what I've seen here on the hub, well worth the effort.
