Gravel Routes - Cape Town CBD

[Santa Dan]

Hi all,

 

I just invested in a gravel bike and loving it! However I’ve been riding it mostly on the road and keen to push it to the limits. Can anyone recommend gravel routes for weekday(if any) and weekend rides? Currently based in Greenpoint

Up to Kloofnek via High Level rd and the Glen. Then up past the Cable Car station and on to the end of Tafelberg road. Where the tar ends, keep going and carry on with the gravel. Take a left in stead of going up to the Kings Blockhouse and wind your way back on gravel to the Vredehoek Quarry. From there find your way across the suburbs and through the City Centre to the Fan Walk and on back to Green Point. I would guess it about 25 or 30 kms and plenty of climbing.
