Website: www.thecyclehub.co.za Route Descriptions The Route comprises of a safe, scenic course which caters for all, from fun riders to the serious mountain bikers who will find themselves face to face with some challenging up hills as well as some technical descents. For those not so serious and family fun riders there are loads of jeep and single tracks as well as some tranquil forest sections. All the routes are well marked ensuring that the more skilled riders follow their technical sections marked with blue and green arrows and all other riders enjoy their riding following the yellow pointers. Distances ranging from a 3km kiddies route to a technical 7km cross country route where the skilled riders will find themselves doing some short steep climbs, drop offs and rocks. The route is maintained by Wendell Bole and his Team of The Cycle Hub. The Cycle Hub will be relocating the shop to Rietvlei Farm in September 2008. They are constantly planning new challenges and developing and cutting out tracks for both the beginner as well as the skilled mountainbikers. Saturday afternoons at 3pm, staff from the Cycle Hub are at your service to accompany all new riders skilled as well as the not so skilled to familiarize themselves with the course. A fun filled afternoon where the very patient skilled bikers patiently coach the others into having loads of fun, up the mountain and down the mountain. Young and Old, all are welcome to join in the group. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, night riding takes place on the Farm. Riders can come and enjoy playing on the dirt tracks and zig zagging through the dark forest sections. The Group leaves at six and you can look forward to a good workout for about 90 minutes in Winter and 2 hours in summer. Currently a night race series is taking place every second Wednesday evening starting at 6.30. This race comprises of a 5.5km lap race which riders need to complete 5 times. This is purely a fun race and no serious prize money is up for grabs but it has seriously stroked the egos of some our riders. Spectators are welcome to come along and join in the fun and cheer their loved ones along. A Spring Night Series, promising to be loads of fun is being planned for September. Routes:
