CMDC Posted January 5, 2014 Share A huge thanks to the PPA and everyone else involved for the spectacular routes. A lot of work has gone into these routes and it is massively appreciated. Jacques Viljoen and CleatsnCleavage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYGA Posted January 6, 2014 Share Jan and his team from Euodia Cycles at the Wine Village in Hermanus were the drivers behind the routes in this area. I rode there a few times this December...these guys have put in huge effort so plus one on the thanks.

Caerus Posted January 6, 2014 Share I'm hoping to ride there today & tomorrow, weather permitting though as it's raining cats and dogs here at the moment and loads of mist as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted January 6, 2014 Share What is it like to ride here on your own? Are the trails well marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeYellow Posted January 16, 2014 Share the trails are magnificent - spent nearly every day of my holiday riding the various trails, highlight was the Waterfall route and the W2W river single track - poured with rain the last 4 days i was down there, but it made riding just that much more fun. Enjoy, oh and if you are up to it, ride up Rotary Drive till you get to the signal towers (dirt road on your right once you reach the summit) ride past the towers (keep left of them) and follow the path wich very soon turns into an adrenalin rush from the MTB gods - this is the old DH track If you have any questions re the trails or where else to ride, chat to Riaan at Euodia Cycles - they are opposite the Hemel en Aarde Estate (very convenient as we stayed in the estate ) Edited January 16, 2014 by ValeYellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Viljoen Posted January 16, 2014 Share You buy your permit @Euodia Cycles I'm sure they should have maps there, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eish, will do. I will be riding alone as well. Does it get fairly busy on weekends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
