Green Belt Strava Routes

[herrowpreeze]

Does anyone have some strava routes or links to rides they have done on the green belt (Cape Town)?

 

I find it quite difficult to find routes there....

 

Looking to mix things up a bit on my local ride and find some new single track sections

 

TIA

There is only 1 cycle allowed route through the greenbelts? 

You can't really 'mix it up' as it is the same up and down? Starting in Tokai and ending at Rhodes Drive.

You can link it to the cork tree trail or the Constantia Nek corridor but those are not 'greenbelts'.

Another way to make a closed loop would be to climb the path next to Sothern Cross Drive and re join the green belts at the top near Rhodes drive.

Where do you lose the cycle path?

Pretty much what he said.
Here's the one route, assuming a rather loose definition for "greenbelt" (you do get more options as you get above the city)

Note that some parts technically require a Sanparks permit.

You'll still get dodgy looks from the dog walkers when you're riding on the correct trails
