Looks fantastic. Are  these trails one direction? 

Not really Bullet. Most of these trails are dual directional (not the Glen-too steep!) and there is not really a signposted 'route' to follow the trails mentioned in this article so best to make use of local knowledge. There are many different ways to link up incredible rides depending on what kind of riding you like as well as where you want to start and end from.

Such an awesome set of shots and I can't wait to send them the the boys back home with a big 'yeah fellas, why would you move to Africa!'. Stunning shots of a stunning city. Looks like some great trails that have opened up. Seems like every day we're getting new areas to ride. Congrats to everyone who work hard for the masses to get access and work with stakeholders and TMNP to let us ride.

SO are you gonna share where the start points are?

 

x-marks the spot for glen start (2nd pic clarifies it a bit), little circles the stairs leading up to the trails around Lions ahead camps bay side once you've finished Glen and are coming up Kloof road

When I'm riding the Glen the voices in my head are screaming!

 

WATCH THAT TREE

WOOOAHH

DON'T CRASH

DON'T CRASH

THAT ROCK IS NEW

DON'T LOOK AT THE CLIFF

WHY DIDN'T I WEAR MY FULLFACE?

 

That trail feels like a mini version of Le Canyon in Les Gets but quite a lot more dangerous.

Do you need permits? Where to get?

 

You can get a permit from SANParks - either a year-long activity card or a day pass.

I find the easiest to be Kirstenbosch Gardens. Ask for a Mountain Biking Permit (it's a level 3 activity card)

 

If you go with 3 mates, the price goes from R 500 each to R 286 each. 

 

Need proof of address, copy of ID & 2 passport photos.
