Grand Opening of the new
Bottelary Hills MTB Trail
Saturday 9th April 2011

This trail is presented to you by the Bottelary Hills Renosterveld Conservancy ( sense a theme here?!? ).

Join us for a guided tour of the new trails.

Meet at 'The Only One' Restaurant at Hartenberg on the Bottelary Rd at 06.45, 07.45 or 08.45 depending on the ride you choose to do.

for a detailed map of how to get there...click on this link...

Riding times are approximate - we will take it easy, wait for backmarkers and for flats to be fixed!

40km (red, yellow and green trails) 1150m ascent, 3.5hrs Start at 07.00

30km (red & yellow/or green trails) 8/900m ascent, 2.5hrs Start at 08.00
(will decide route with the group!)

20km (red route only) 600m climbing, 1.5 hrs Start at 09.00

Devil Thorns around;- DO NOT attempt these trails without tubeless tyres/slimed tubes at the very least! You have been warned :-)

Expected finish time to be 10.30 am for all routes, when we will go for an optional, well-earned breakfast at Hartenberg.
Need numbers for breakfast booking, please advise asap.
send a BLANK email with the subject 'BREAKFAST PLEASE' TO adrian@tygerbergmtb.co.za
All inclusive cooked breakfast coffee and juice is R50. payable on the day.

CLICK HERE to see a map of all the routes, the view is from the Bottelary Road looking South/South East. The pink routes are the entry points to the trails (Hazendal and Hartenberg on the Bottelary Rd side and Middlevlei on the Stellenbosch side).

Permit Fees are R30 per person per day. For Saturday only, your guide will issue the permits. Please note, along with the day permit, you will get a dated wristband, your id for the day.

Liked the trails? Annual permit (bike boards) for April-Dec 2011 will be available after the rides for R270 on the day, if you have bought a day permit.

It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
