Stanford; Gravel/easier MTB trails?


Zebra

Recommended Posts

Hi, got a 3-day b/day celebration in Stanford mid-June, with a group of riding mates.

Whist I know some of the Hermanus Gravel/MTB trails, am oblivious of what STANFORD has to offer, and we don’t obviously want to drive/ride back to Hermanus (30km), before starting a trail…

…looking for any pointers on trails in the STANFORD area, the easier/more accessible stuff, particularly as non-regular riding partners will likely join us for at least one of the rides…

thanks

Chris

See if you can find some of the "Standford Classic" Strava routes.

 

But these are routes that cross the farms .... not sure if there are any public trails for use during the rest of the year.

 

 

Maybe also look into trails at Gaansbaai ....

 

 

Let's hope the locals jump in share their knowledge. :thumbup:

For trails;

See KLIPSPRINGER routes at Lomond Wines. (permits at start)

https://www.lomond.co.za/mtb/

See below - Klipspringer outside loop - 30km (750 ascent)

https://www.trailforks.com/region/gansbaai/?activitytype=1&z=11.4&lat=-34.55207&lon=19.50492

See STANFORD VALLEY Guest Farm - (+beloftebos) (basically for lodgers, but book a meal and inquire)

some visible here:

Longer Dirt-road options for longer rides - from Stanford out to/past  Phillips Kop, cross over tar and go direction Papiesvlei , for dirt loops, or further to Baardskeerders, Uilenkraal.
