Meezo Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Definitely going to Hemel n Aarde But is there any other MTB trails to explore in Hermanus? Going there this weekend Sparky and the Warden 1
Goosebay Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Do the Funky on Saturday - Lomond Wine Estate. You won't be disappointed Meezo 1
BenReaper Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 Ditto on Goosebay's post Meezo. Even if you don't want to partake in the event you can always go ride the trails afterwards on Sunday, they charge R40 for a permit and its well worth it.I rode the new trails for the first time about a month ago and I was blown away by what they've quietly been building in the mountains over the past few years.Really great riding and views for dayyyyyyys!

burty Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Wilderkraans in Botriver has some good trails ... OneLove 1
Irons Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 The trails in town are fun for an evening bash. About 400/500m down mountain drive road, you enter up a jeep track, and then a small climb to a mini-reservoir. Just to the right of it, you enter in and there is a nice 1.2km XCO track (it was a bit overgrown when I was last there). If you carry on and make your way to Fernkloof, there is another trail there - not all time trails, but fun.

Goosebay Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 will the race be using lomond estate for saturday and sunday? i assume i wont be able to day pass for either of these days to ride on my ownThe vibe is generally quite chilled so not sure if it will be a problem or not. The race is 20km longer than the route and includes at least one fun downhill not on the klipspringer, and you have waterpoints . The fun route (red) should be open from lunch time or so. You can also chat to Noami and just ask Saturday will be less of a problem but Sunday you will be riding against the flow of the race.
bikebloke Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) be careful out there people - Hawston has now moved from being a den of poachers to attacking cyclists along the R43 in the middle of the day 6 attacks since december 2 in last week Edited September 21, 2018 by bikebloke
OneLove Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 be careful out there people - Hawston has now moved from being a den of poachers to attacking cyclists along the R43 in the middle of the day 6 attacks since december 2 in last weekThese are laaities trying there luck (and getting it right), they live a few meters away from the start of the trail. Somebody who they try their luck with needs to get off their bike and give them a solid beating which should sort out the problem. I saw one riding on a Scott Spark that is way to big but he rode away when I called him.
