PygaSchmyga Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Are their any group rides heading out from Onrus/ Hermanus between Christmas/ New Years?Both MTB and Road.Starting early with a decent distance and good pace.Something to try in hermies which is tons of fun is taking a fat bike from grotto beach to die kelders. Its a 30K return ride all on the beach almost round walker bay, and if you go when the tide is high and not much hard pack sand you get a PROPER workout. There are a few bike shops that hire out fat bikes at pretty reasonable rates
S-Bike Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Are their any group rides heading out from Onrus/ Hermanus between Christmas/ New Years?Both MTB and Road.Starting early with a decent distance and good pace.I would be keen to ride - am there over Christmas too. Hermanus to Caledon and back via Hemel-en-Aarde on an early morning is an awesome ride.
Spirog Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I'm in Fisherhaven from the 29th until the 3rd. I don't know the area at all. I'd love to find some rides to work of the season of excess...
etienne_jordaan Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Local groups at 06:00 from Engen at Sandbaai/Hemel&Aarde intersection. Usually road and mtb groups and pace varies. Also a 06:00 holiday group from Voëlklip circle, road and mtb. The Voëlklip bunch use to be 20/30+ over Desember, but numbers has decreased over the years.
Chingy182 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I spend most of my December holiday in Stanford.I would like to meet up with a few riders to do some rides with other people. Mtb rides I do there are:- Hemel and Aarde - Mtb at Lomond Wine farm outside Gansbaai- Amazing 80km circular Jeep track through the farms from Stanford through to Baardskeerdersbos and back through Papiesvlei I still want to ride that gravel mountain pass that comes Valley Road, just after Peregrine that ends at Arrabella golf estate. Maybe we can organise a WhatsApp group for the Hermanus/Stanford area and coordinate riding plans over the holidays if anyone is keen? Johan072 384 5788

Goosebay Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 The options are growing in the area. Some routes you might not be aware of: Tesselaarsdal - haarkapper route - was part of the EpicBeloftebos has a new route - part of the Stanford tourThe Klipspringer is a tough 33km loop that can be split into 2 fun loops - I would suggest take the Avoca gravel road and climb the new single track and do the second half of the klipspringer from Lomond Wine tasting area. 17km and about 500m climbingBlack Oyster catcherThe Round house (Dave) in de Kelders does fatbike toursWildekrans and Gaf se bos trails (part of Wines to whales) Groups are riding from Hermanus as well as from Stanford (Sundays from the Caltex garage or Ou meul (next to caltex) - fast and slow groups - do about 40 odd kms There will be some races in the area over December - Naas does the Struisbaai one. Triathlon at Lomond on the 16th.

Chingy182 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I think everyone just leave their phone numbers on this page if you are keen to join up for group rides in Dec and I'll create a WhatsApp group over the course of the weekend

Edit: Groenlandberg
lerouc Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Beloftebos has a new route - part of the Stanford tour i see stanford tour was removed from mtb-adventures website? is it going to happen next year?
bikebloke Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 hermanus - hemel en aarde -karwyderskraal- loop is a great route from hermanus - hemel en aarde - turn at karwyderskraal follow it whichever way toward Arabella/kleinmond then either turn up highlands road to peregrine or ride road on to kogelberg and up out the back and back to highlands road kogelberg requires a permit just fyi note for the roadies karwyderskraal pass between hemel en aarde tar and karwyderskraal tar road and highlands pass are NOT road bike friendly
