Hermanus MTB Trails - how safe are they?


Recommended Posts

Hi - we’re new to SA, having recently emigrated from the UK.

this may be a naive question but how safe are Hermanus MTB trails to ride alone? I’m thinking less about having an accident, more about getting robbed. 
thanks

Speak to Kobus Stofberg at Hermanus Adventures /  Dusty Feet.  He will advise you re trails as well as building - I am sure he will appreciate help.  There is a little skills section near the quadbikes on the red route - has some jumps and drops.  Haven't been there for a while but they have had to do a lot of work on the main trail after the storms. Jannie at Village Cycles and Leon/Etienne at Hermanus cycles will have loads of advice.

Trails are safe to ride alone. I do it often. Although it is always beter to ride with someone, not only for safety, but to assist with a mechanical or crash.

Safe. I ride on my own there a lot and have seen others doing the same. Never had an issue. Red and Blue routes are almost back to their former glory. Enjoy!
