Hans se Kop - Grabouw

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

 

Trying to find online, but not having any luck - hence trying the bike hub community! 

 

Wanting to ride Hans se Kop - but where is the best place to park? @ the EGCC? Get a permit at Cape Gate? I cannot seem to find a Strava Segment from that stretch to the actual start of the climb! And apparently the A-2-Z trails are a good descent back to the car park? 

 

Any help to try clarify my route would be helpful! Thanks!

Its a really good ride and the climb is easy to find. Park at Grabouw Country Club.

DM me if you want a GPX file of the route.

Just make sure its not cloudy.  I've been up there when it is and there is no scenic reward for the effort.

Scenic reward?! Is the knowledge that pain is just weakness leaving your body not reward enough?! 

 

Pfft.... Some people!

Sometimes you just need a little bit extra, like the cherry on top of a cake.

Reviving a old thread quick: If one does the 4 passes MTB route, can one incorporate Hans se Kop and A2Z trails? Where would I buy a pass for the A2Z trails?

Permits now only at Trail's End in Grabouw. It would be easy to add to 4 passes if you buy a permit the day before, then you can turn off left after Sir Lowry's pass. There is a guard house at the country club where you would enter Grabouw, they check everybody.
