Bike Hub Features Posted August 11, 2021 Share Originally published in August 2021 – Spring is in the air, and it’s the ideal time of year for a bike-packing trip.

Shebeen Posted August 13, 2021 Share this route is becoming a classic. Capecycle routes really really need to find a better place to park your car in citrusdal for 2/3/4 days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Smith Posted August 13, 2021 Share It doesn't get better than this. With a bit of planning anyone can do this. As events are being canceeled due to the pandemic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rule is a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olmec Posted August 13, 2021 Share Sure, but still a public strava route: https://www.strava.com/segments/27524796?oq=The Ceder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted August 13, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, copperhead said: Nice write up. I need to say that parking in Citrusdal is the worst option. I do not like that town. Or Clanwilliam. They have grown out of control and are in my opinion to be ridden through extremely carefully and safely. That route is brilliant. A better route would be to go the other direction through Wupperthal. Harder but nicer. The race will be great to those who enter. Good luck to all. Oasis is a great place except on ther weekends when it becomes noisy until the early hours. I am heading out that way again early October. If anyone is keen to meet up and ride just shout. I absolutely love the Cederberg and the Karoo. We parked at the restaurant 1km out of town up the pass. Bydidam. I sent some very obvious suggestions to CCR after doing it. They've got a good thing going but need to work on a few small tweaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
