Goosebay Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 There has been some developments in the Stanford Gansbaai area - about a 45min drive from Hemel and Aarde, and even shorter if you are holidaying in the Voelklip area. Stanford has some fun routes and Beloftebos has a nice little single track route. Lomond Wine Estate (about 10km outside Gansbaai on the B'bos Elim rd) has a few options too. The black routes are tougher than what they appear to be - so the 32km will probably ride like a 45km if you are not very fit. It is a beautiful ride with outstanding views and really fun sections. It will test your climbing legs too. You can divide the black route into a few options with option 3 being the the most fun (my opinion . A new shorter option has just been cut (8.2km) that has a fun single track and jeep track climb and then bombing down part of the black route. Fun berms and little jumps. The whoop section before the bluegums is especially good - 3 fast berms that drop you into the 'forest' with a little drop, hip and some more bits and pieces to keep you smiling. The venue is also very pleasant on the banks of the Kraaibosch dam, with good wines and a cheese platter (don't know if they are planning to offer more during the season) and beer on tap. Very chilled way to finish a your ride. I think the permit is R40.
osiris Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Hi allI'll be in Gordons Bay for part of my holidays and would like to join a MTB ride in Hermanus,please add me to your group 082 712 5081
JohanMalan Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 These Gansbaai routes are really fantastic! Some proper mountain biking out there. I am very keen to try the newly cut bits Corrie.
the_roadie Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 Anyone familiar with the Highlands road? Was thinking of doing a loop from Hermanus out on the Highlands road and then back through Botrivier. I'll be on a road bike, but it looks like the 10km stretch of dirt road is fine to ride on a road bike. Not sure if it's safe to ride that road alone though? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalkyou will struggle on highlands on a road bike its a bit rough in parts (its safe but I don't think its a good idea on a road bike unless you running CX tires go karwyderskraal loop instead or up hemel en aarde to Caledon
