ADVENTURES IN PLETT:
MOUNTAIN BIKING

Plettenberg Bay and surrounds has always been regarded a well renowned destination for mountain biking. The most well known of these: The Harkerville Red Route. The older trails have more natural terrain with not too many manmade features, with no packed berms and rollers.

In the past 18 months there has been an immense growth in new single trails in various areas in and around Plett. Some of these areas are the MTO Forest's between Cairnbrogie and Harkerville where Danny Arron and his team has laid out and built a really well flowing network of single trails. Amongst some of the popular trails are: The Dummy Run; Zig Zag; Full Zag; The Puffer; Switchback Grind; Blurry Eyes; Santa Cruz; Bike Shop Rock n Roll and the latest edition Old Coots Corner.

The Sky Villa Trails situated behind Barons View and above Old Nick has good flowing single trails that have been built by Johan Vorster and his team. Popular segments are The Badger; Smoked Salmon; The Bolt; Wonder Lust; Ja-Nee the latest editions are: The Secret; Alchemy and Skyline.

All these new trails and segments, along with the older established trails allow for fun, safe cycling from your home irrespective of where in Plett you stay. These new trails are creating quite the talking point amongst the cycling community with young and old, comparing experiences and times on the various segments with each other.

All trails are well-built and safe to ride for riders of all capabilities. The faster they are ridden the technical difficulty increases  incrementally for each segment. Therefore, don’t just blast the trails blind, rather consider doing a sighting lap of the various single trail segments first.

                                                 LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP!
