MTB Club Ride

Next Tuesday 16^th of June sees the 2nd MTB Outride of Cycling Club Helderberg taking place, starting at Die Boord Shopping Centre in Stellenbosch at 8h00 (please guys, we want to leave at 8h00). The route follows the hills from Papegaaiberg over to the end of Devon Valley (this is where the slow group takes a short cut back to Stellenbosch), and from there the medium group and the fast group will follow the hills in the direction of Zevenwacht, and return via the Uiterwijk road. The terrain is mainly farm jeep track through vineyards (1st half), with fynbos, rough jeep track, singletrack, slippery bits and good climbing prevalent in the 2nd half (medium group and fast group).

With all the rain that fell, see to it that your tyres have good tread (a more aggressive tread will certainly help) and that your bike is in good nick. We want to ensure that everyone enjoys the ride to its full potential! The complete route has a riding time of 2,5h (excluding stoppages), and a total climb of 785m. Everybody welcome, including non-members, who pay a R10 fee.
