Rockjock Posted February 21, 2016 Share Hi all. My son and i are relatively new to mtb but can ride some technical stuff... Not too difficult though. We are looking to do some multi day bikepacking. About 30 to 40 km per day. We live in Jhb. Any suggestions? Some nice forrest or mountain routes would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailrider Posted May 31, 2016 Share Hi Rockjock, I was going through the list of topics that I'm following and came across your post. I came across this blog a while ago, written by a bikepacker and colourful character of note. It's given me some ideas and hope it gives you some ideas too. http://bikepackingsa.blogspot.co.za/2014/12/day-1.html Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted May 31, 2016 Share Yip, we will be going over the Mountains to Corumana Dam. Sleep There and from there following the Dam to the river mouth, which also close by the Kruger Park, and then some nice trails back to the border.First Part we rode 2 weeks ago, and is on my strava, awesome trail. We will be going out again this weekend to scout some more Routes. Love Riding there. There is Youtube Video of our Route we Rode 2 Weeks ago.. Called: Corumana Dam MTB Ride.
