ChrisF Posted October 24, 2023 Share 30 minutes ago, MongooseMan said: Regarding upper Black route, I was at Moggs (up towards the top of Hemel en Aarde) last weekend, and their comment was that when they went up to look, the trail "simply doesn't exist anymore". Huge mud slides have covered stuff meters deep in places. So sad. These were some of thee nicest trails in the Western Cape. Let's hope they come back stronger and better than before dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted October 25, 2023 Share Something different today ... really good fun but with a tinge of sadness. Times change and I guess the things you expect to see won't always be there 😏 Scary Rider, throttles, TyronLab and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted October 25, 2023 Share QUESTION .... Is Chappies open for cycling after the rain damage ? What do the locals recommend for a short afternoon ride .... 1. Chappies ? 2. Misty cliffs ? 3. Houtbay to Sea point ? 4. Muizenberg towards Cape Point 40 to 50km return trip along one of these .... noting afternoon traffic ... safety .... Thanks 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappies ? STILL CLOSED, WED EVENING… 2. Misty cliffs ? YES, LOW TRAFFIC, EXCELLENT… 3. Houtbay to Sea point ? NICE RIDE, BUSY IN LATE AFTERNOON IN OTHER DIRECTION (home-comers…) 4. Muizenberg towards Cape Point GOOD AFTER SIMONSTOWN, COULD BE BUSY MUIZIES TO S’TOWN…CALMER AFTER S’TOWN… Best option? Park in Simonstown, then around Cape Point, around Scarborough/Mistys, over Slangkop, N-O-T past Ocean View onM82 but rather Kommetjie Main Road back past Masiphumelela, then over BLACK hill, to S’TOWN, 51km. Else, maybe better still,park at BASE OF Black Hill, still through S’TOWN, same 51km route, but ending at base of Black hill, nice cool off down Black Hill before climbing back into car for trip home. Pro Tip? If not needed back home, grab a bit to eat, and let traffic subside…😉 40 to 50km return trip along one of these .... noting afternoon traffic ... safety .... Thanks 👍 Edited October 25, 2023 by Zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know most of the route ... but that last link back may just have some unknown bits. Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
