Dubber88 Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for the info! This was very helpful. I will definitely be riding there next week. Do you maybe have additional info such as GPS Coordinates? Regards,
RodTi Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks for the info! This was very helpful. I will definitely be riding there next week. Do you maybe have additional info such as GPS Coordinates? Regards, Hey Dubber, Nope - sorry - don't have a vehicle GPS.Took my Edge 305 along, but the thick forest cover was screwing it around. Pop in to the bike store in Kynsna near the Waterfront - they'll give you all the direction info you'll need. Pretty sure the same will apply if you're coming from the Plet side of things...
MintSauce Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Was in George last week and wanted to head out there for a ride, but luckily we phoned ahead as the region has had heavy rains. It's something to keep in mind as well, as the route is often closed after heavy rains.
DawieO Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 You need to go and do the ride from Petrus se Brand. It starts at Diepwalle Forestry Station and ends at the Garden of Eden where you started the HArkerville ride.

Thanks Dawie, Will definitely be doing Petrus next.Will be in Grootbrak in December, and might make the trek north for the day.
Dubber88 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Definitely the best scenic route I have EVER done( Red Route ) This time will do first lap fast, second lap take in the scenery. Good 1000m climb over 48km. Will be going there end of April!!! Is there co-ordinates available from where Petrus se brand route starts?
divernick Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Anyone wanna hook up to ride this trail sometime between 24 April and 1 May? I'll be down in the area then and would like a riding partner.
Trance Dance Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 It is worth doing the Petrus se Brand route both up and down, starting at Garden of Eden, riding up to Diepwalle, and then back to Garden of Eden. Its about 50 km of great riding - woth it just for the short but fun single track at the end as you approach the N2.
Chubba Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Taking the wife and little boy up to Plett mid April for a week, and was wondering how safe it is to ride these MTB routes alone? With all these attack topics on the go, feeling a little nervous! Was planning on taking the road bike and sticking to the areas around Plett, but would love to take my MTB instead!

Wet Ears Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Rod Thank you for the detailed info - will def make use of it as heading down to that part of the world next week.
divernick Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I think there will be a few of us in the area over easter, we should meet up for a nice ride or 2 - I also don't feel comfortable going alone.
Big JD Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I will be in Plett and can ride on 23rd-25th April. Keep me posted!
Chubba Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 In Plett from 22nd till 28th April. Keen to ride Harkerville. I aint no racing snake though, take it mellowish.
divernick Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I started a new thread for interested parties: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/102078-group-ride-harkerville-monday-25-april/
