NEED TO KNOW

Start: The trailhead is clearly marked, and located just outside the trail office. Remember to pay your trail fee! It’s R40 per visit, or R500 will get you an annual membership (R300 for children).

Best time to ride: Is at sunrise

– the light, the vibe and the cool temperatures lend themselves to perfect riding conditions.

Watch out for: Loose rocks, blind corners and speeding segment-hunters. It’s also wise to anticipate the possibility of encountering a wild animal or two.
