kandui Posted October 8, 2010 Share If anyone is keen to join. I am starting at Oak Lane Cottages around 8:30am tomorrow morning and taking a ride up and over the Groenlandberg .Along the other side facing Theewaterskloof Dam and then up to the Vodacom tower. Down towards Grabouw trail area and then back to Oak Lane. Got lost a bit last week getting to the mountain, but once there the route is easy to find.Long climbs and part of the route up to the tower was ridden in a previous Epic. Expect 6-8 hours on the trail.Did it on my own last week,some company would be nice, but not essential. Awesome views, saw some leopard tracks high up on the mountain.

kandui Posted October 8, 2010 Share Went through Thandi and spoke to some workers at Lebanon village who told me the trail is used quite often by mtb's.Passed some trail arrows close to the foot of the mountain.Saw a lot of cylce tracks further up on the mountain.

kandui Posted October 8, 2010 Share Just got off the blower with Management at Oak Valley to confirm and have consent from all landowners to access the mountain (Thandi,Paul Cluver) . Permit for Cape Nature property access can be bought retroactively when you reach their office, coming down from the mast. Did that last weekend.

kandui Posted October 10, 2010 Share Ride was great, weather perfect.Fantastic views. 93km starting from Oak Lane Cottages. Lots of water on the mountain to refill your bottles 3 or 4 times. Wild Card gives you free access to the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tieffels Posted October 12, 2010 Share Have to say I'm very jealous, did plenty Epic training in that area earlier this year. Amazing riding, must be some of the best in SA. Now up in JHB and get depro thinking about what I'm missing. Enjoy every second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
