In this episode of Destination Trail, we follow Hannah Barnes and Miranda Miller as the pair ride the scorched wilderness of Stellenbosch, South Africa. A vast network of trails have existed here since the '90s, but after a massive fire scorched much of the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve in 2015, fresh funding has paved the way for even more singletrack. And today, this lemonade-out-of-lemons approach has rejuvenated existing trails and laid the groundwork for new ones, making the area a true destination for any mountain biker with a love for dusty red earth.

Awesome stuff. I'll be there tomorrow. Just to be clear, which trails are open at Jonkers? I'm looking for the non-serious downhill stuff. Trails similar to Hoogekraal/Conters/etc.

 

Red Phoenix - yes

Canaries - ?

Neverending - ?

Fire Hut - No?

I rode there last weekend. Red Phoenix and Neverending are the two I rode. I haven't ridden the other two as of yet so can't comment.

 

That ST is awesome. Nice proper all-mountain.

 

The Stellies folks are truly spoilt. (this coming from a Tygerberg MTB member... :ph34r: )

AFAIK the trails on the fire hut side are not open. But Canaries, Red Phoenix, Neverending Story etc. are all good to go!

The rough life of a Stellies trail builder :-)

Ja nee it must have been rough to host a hottie like Hannah Barnes. :whistling:

 

 

 

Bennett comes across as solid guy though! Long live trail builders!
