Yanre Meyer Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Hi I am going on a short vacation to Campsbay and I’m taking the cross-country fully with me. What spots would you recommend and where can I ride? I would say I am experienced enough to ride most cross-country routes (even the gnarly ones) I am also deep into a block of training so would also like to know about a spot with a long drag climb close by where I can do my intervals and sprints. Thanks in advance
kosmonooit Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Not that much happening there, and the walkers will get miffed if you ride the pump track, best head to the northern face of Table Mountain where you will find lots of options. You can ride up to neck and then take the cable car road to access the trails.

Larry King Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Lots of trails just over the hill, like plenty. Also a decent downhill into camps bay if you willing to sprint up the tar.
andydude Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Check out https://www.tablemountainbikers.co.za/routes-trails/ for trails. There is a track or two that side. But then try to link up to the other ones. Maybe try to join one of their rides. There's even a nice evening ride with social after. And yes, as far as I know you do need a permit. Easiest for me is at the office at Kirstenbosch. But there must be an office in town as well.
WikusTri Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Get a activity card for when you are here, then ride pump track because its open for mountain-biking and the walkers can moan all they want. If you need somebody to show you around the trails, I’ll be willing to.
Duane_Bosch Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Activity card from sanparks required? Yes. But well worth it for what you get IMO. Lots of riding on TM and Lions head. Also allows you to ride in the reserve which is pretty special at this time of year. @ the OP. There's loads of very good and techy riding easily accesible from Camps. There will be a bit of climbing on the road to get to the trails but that's Urban Mountain Biking. If you're strong you can get from Camps across the front of table mountain on tafelberg road. and then it's dirt all the way to constantia where you can get on to the greenbelts. If you're REALLY strong you can even get to tokai. You do need an access card tho. It's illegal to ride there without one and expect a hefty fine and a lot of righteous indignation if caught without one.
