Seen a bit of stuff here on the hub, also an issue in GP sadly you heard of the gent they shot. Safe to ride alone? Most of the safety issues relate to cycling to the trails. The trails itself is safe. As Robbie said, crashing while riding alone ..... for this reason I avoid the Hillcrest loops. Rest of the trails are mostly busy and you regularly see other riders. Tokai you know of Nearly 200km of trails around Durbanville. Nearly forgot about the Bottelary trails. Lots more around Stellenbosch Even a couple of the Cape Epic stages available as trails from Wellington to Ceres .... So a wide variety from gravel through light trails to adrenaline single tracks.

There may even be a Seattle in a fresh stop/caltex, but the local coffee guys know that they have it really good in stellies. It's the heartland of coffee in the Boland. There are more coffee roasters than SCC shops in stellies. Actually, coming to stellies, claiming to be a coffee lover and drinking franchise coffee is akin to going to Jonkers and riding the jeep track and skipping all the trails.

Mudsimus Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 I guess you can stop at any of those if you like mediocre stale coffee.

If you don't then the coffee you are drinking is second class! 15kms outside Op Die Berg on the Cederberg road. Hands down the best coffee I have ever tasted. Okay okay not really just down the road but I seem to be passing this little trailer quite often ???? Barista Brett is the man. Ding. Everything just fell into place for me. I met you at Tremor Coffee in Ceres on a Friday when you rode to Hogsback a while ago. Next time coffee is on me. I need to stop sending one of my drivers on the Op-Die-Berg trips and do one myself and go get me some Grondpad Coffee. And sommer ride Houdenbek while I'm there. ChrisF and OVERDRIVE 2

As you exit the tunnel on Paarl side coming to visit from Jozi this will be the first view you see of the Cape. As you leave the Cape on the way back home, this is the last view you have of our beautiful metro OVERDRIVE 1
