30km (red & yellow/or green trails) 8/900m ascent, 2.5hrs Start at 08.00

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

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.

Klink nogal lekker outing te wees!
Niel op 'n BIKE! .... Nooit! .... firstly, Niel hates wearing helmets, the strap restricts his chin from wagging!

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
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!

Seker 'n ou delivery bicycle wat ge-konvert is na 'n mountain bike! Het jy ten minstens die carrier afgehaal, Niel? .... O nee, wag .... dit sal dien as laai plek vir die 'tafels'!
