Our start point is located at the foot of the iconic Bainskloof Pass just outside of Wellington, we start the ride with a small (quiet) road section before we turn into the trails, then onwards & upwards! the trail twists and turns for over 10km, winding through forests & fynbos and past stunning waterfalls, with around 1000m of climbing to reach the top! it can take anything from 1.5hrs - 2.5hrs to climb

Once at the top we will take a break, to take in the stunning views all the way back to Cape town, then the DECENT!!!!

The first part is very steep and quite a few people do walk it, but once past the first couple of switch backs, its some of the best free flowing single track ever!
The decent is around ±10 kms as well, which we can take stops on as well.

Its a short tour in distance but well worth it.

The tour…..

This e-bike tour is a very gentle cruise through the reserve, covering around 30kms, we ride slowly and stop frequently so you can take pictures and rest. We aim to do the 30km in around +/- 3hrs.

If you're a group of 3 or 4, we can change the tour to start and finish at the bird watching hides, this is an out and back ride of around ±40kms.

The terrain has some small rolling hills and some grassy or sand sections, so we recommend that you have a very basic riding skill.

We will pick you up from your hotel or guest house around 08:00 and drive through the winelands or along the coast depending if you are coming from CPT or Stellenbosch, we will then park at the entrance of the reserve and ride the first few km on asphalt, we usually see some buck or Ostrich on this stretch.

We will then head off road on to the old lagoon gravel road, this leads us straight through the flatlands next to the lagoon, again "Hopfully" bird life and animals roaming around.
We will follow the edge of the lagoon for about 20km before crossing over to the Atlantic coast.

On the return we will stop for refreshments & braai (BBQ) before driving back to the lagoon hides where you can either relax, walk, ride some more or watch birds.

The park itself is also home to a wide collection of plant species, birds and a medley of mammals. Keep your camera close at hand as you’ll quickly encounter your fair share of Ostrich, mountain zebras, white-faced bontebok and, perhaps (if you’re lucky), the oh-so-cunning caracal.

We will also head to the Tsaarsbank section of West Coast National Park where you can sometimes see Southern Right whales, and the occasional Humpback, depending on the time of year.
