Yzerfontein - Gravel/MTB routes

[AB]

Hi guys,

Going to Yzerfontein over Easter weekend and looking for some good gravel routes around the area?

(Around 100km)

 

also any MTB routes, definitely need to check out Wolwefontein.

Any Strava routes or suggestions will be much appreciated!

^ Good luck riding that. A fair chunk of that is tar, a some hard pack/loose gravel (yay) and (at this time of the year) a a whole stretch of loose sand. Some of it on a no-cycling-allowed road road in the WCNP.

Oh. And you have to cross private property. Twice.

Lots of options available: 

1. Living Colour, between Yzerfontein and Darling, lots of single track and you do the entire Wolwefontein trails (day permit) 

2. Khwa ttu Nature reserve, just outside Yzerfotein has some nice single track (day permit)

3. Darling, many options, gravel with plenty climbs, but you need to join a local who can show you the routes on the farms, unfortunately no markings etc... (free)

I have also met some friendly local MTB riders at "Die Skuim" coffee shop who I joined... Perhaps that's also a good point to start if you keen to join a group.
