The best of the

Overberg trails

Come and join us for three days of exhilarating mountain biking in the heart of mountain-bike country in the Western Cape. We have hand-picked some of the best trails in the area, Oak Valley, Greyton
and the famous Hemel en Aarde valley, and combined them into one action-packed trip. Accommodation for the two nights is in
an upmarket guest lodge in Greyton, and all breakfasts and lunches are included.

You are collected from your hotel in our mini-bus, which has a bike trailer and luggage compartment. Greyton, established in 1854, owes much of its charm to its intact Cape Vernacular heritage, and is a hugely popular getaway with wonderful restaurants, little shops and a famous Saturday market. There will also be a chance to sample some of the world-renowned local wines, with a stop at a couple of the wine farms on route.

The trails all include loads of singletrack and are for intermediate to experienced riders. Expect the three days to be fairly tough, with man-made bridges, wooden stiles over fences and some challenging climbs, so a good level of fitness is needed as we ride together as a group.
