NEED TO KNOW

Start: At the Thaba trailhead. The trails can be ridden from 6.30am to 5pm, seven days a week. Remember to pay your trail fee! R50 per visit. R1 600 gets you an annual membership.

Best Time To Ride: In the morning – the exposed nature of the trail means heat is an issue all year round. Carry extra sunblock and hydration.

Watch Out For: There’s nothing particularly challenging, but novice riders should take heed on some of the rockier sections.
