leet22 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Where are the good rides in the WC with in a decnt distance to CT? Done tokai and Oak valley , know of Lebabnon. Where else do you guys ride with nice single track?
Cassie Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Jonkershoek & Eden...both in Stellenbosch!!!!Grabouw....start @ country club....(closer than Oak Valley)
Rapunzel Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 ... or if you want a quick one after work, try the new hillcrest route (6km loop, more than half of it on single track and plenty of climbs to give you an intense workout)
leet22 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Posted October 4, 2009 Is that at Hillcrest wine and olive farm? Price?
RobG Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 That would be Hillcrest Wine & Olive Farm, just outside Durbanville on the way to Durbanville Hills. If you are a Tygerberg MTB Club member it is free otherwise it is R20. You could also try Majik Forest in the Welgemoed area, you can do about a 10km route there.
brussel Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 if you ride a loop of majik down superspeedway and 2 loops of hillcrest and back it gives you a nice 30km ride with lots of single track, a bit of jeep track and (unfortunately) some tar
Rapunzel Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 .... and there's bound to be more single track added before the end of the year. The tar stretch on brussel's route isn't much - about 3km each way.
RobG Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I know Majik and Hillcrest a little bit but how do you get between them with only 3 km of tar?
brussel Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 easy-peasy use super speedway: just before you get to the substation from the beacon head right through a gate and down super speedway to poplars restaurant. Then you head up and over tiekiedraai
samson99 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 easy-peasy use super speedway: just before you get to the substation from the beacon head right through a gate and down super speedway to poplars restaurant. Then you head up and over tiekiedraai are we allowed down this road? ie the road towards poplars restaurant?
brussel Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 been down it a million times yip as far as I know there has never been a n issue I have seen the farmer dozens of times and no issue
samson99 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 where does one enter the hillcrest farm? at the gate at the bottom of Tiekiedraai? also anyone got the web address for tygerberg mtb club?
leet22 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Thx guys. Anyone got a map of the Majk route
Rapunzel Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 try contacting the guys at tygerberg mtb for a map of majik - addresses are on the website www.tygerbergmtb.co.za alternatively, make a date and time and post it on the hub and you're bound to get a crowd who can show you around. The entrance to hillcrest is on the bend on tiekiedraai - sign in at security and get your permit at the restaurant. the route is very well marked so you won't get lost.
leet22 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Thx for info on Hillcrest Is it technical single track or just flowing?
Rapunzel Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 hillcrest's single track is flowing and not technical - if you're looking for more technical stuff then the upper reaches of majik are a better deal.
