just outside town you can ride there

day permit at office -nice jeep track riding

 

or you can ride out of town towards hermanus just before intersection of R43 and R44 follow the highlands road on left up and over to grabouw -highlands road ends at peregrine farm stall - nice dirt roads great climb some traffic

 

about half way on the highlands road is iona winefarm there where trails there but don't know if they still accessible

There are some trails in George not too far and then Garden Route Bike Park near Sedgefield for some awesome trails.

Apologies I was thinking of Kleinbrak near Mosselbay.

another vote for the hermanus trails in hemel & aarde valley.

 

permits at the bike shop as you turn off the main road into H&A valley on your LHS.

another option is a day trip to elgin / grabouw: paul cluver, oak valley etc

From Kleinmond head out then when you get to the T-junction turn LEFT (away from Hermanus)  About 2km on there is a MTB trail to the right.

 

Near Grabouw there are some other options as well

Don't know if the trail is still in operation as you are heading towards Bettysbay, just over the bridge, maybe a km or two, a little gravel road takes you to the start of a nice little trail. Used to be run by Cape Nature and need to pay entrance fee.

 

Also the gravel road just before Hermanus t junction provides nice climb without traffic and you can cycle from Kleinmond

There is a MTB trail at Honingklip, thats after the left turn.  But I was thinking of one of the other side of the road ... just cant find its name now ....

Yeah, Kogelbaai MTB route. Very scenic. Was closed but reopened a few months ago after the massive floods we had. Mostly jeeptrack but well worth the ride.
