Table Mountain Routes

[Bub Marley]

Hi guys

 

Would appreciate some strava route links if possible for some routes on Table Mountain. Never ridden there at all so Im completely clueless where to start. Never done blockhouse, or Rhodes surrounds or even green belt or Tokai or anything else south but thought I’d try and give it a go this holiday. Where’s the best place to start? Looking at around 30-50km routes with some decent elevation. In terms of my own skill level, well I’ve done basically everything on the Tygerberg network besides Conties Black Rhino.  

 

Also wrt permits etc what all do I need to ride?

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

DM me your number, and I can send you some routes and a pin of where to start from.

To get 30 to 50km you will need to drop down to Rhodes Memorial into Newlands and then do Kirstenbosch to get into the greenbelts.

In terms of permits, I actually have no idea... I ride on the mountain weekly and have an activity card, but I know many people ride there daily without any permits or anything. In the past, you required an activity card, but as of now, I don't know.

Hi there for riding on the peninsula trails that fall under Sanparks you need a SANPARK Activity card ..

To enter the Tokai trails from the Tokai picnic spot you will need to produce a Activity card or pay R115 for day permit..that does include safe secure parking while you out riding on the mountain.
