Mountain Bike the Elgin Valley

Your Itinerary and abbreviations:
KM = distance cycled by bike, AM = altitude climbed by bike 

You will get collected from your hotel and head towards Elgin, a large apple growing area over the mountain. The bike park has been built by the local winemaker, Pieter Visser, who is an avid mountain biker and this shows with a large percentage of flowing single trail offering sweet downhills and a very interesting way of getting over fences. The two estates offer 3 marked routes and a great trail network to choose from.

Oak Valley:  BLUE ROUTE – 14 kilometer family-friendly;  RED ROUTE – 22 kilometer route for the stronger riders and a BLACK ROUTE – 32 kilometres for the more advanced.
Paul Cluver: RED ROUTE – 32 kilometres, BLACK ROUTE – 43 kilometres. 
The other option is to combine the two properties and make a full day of it. Be advised though that this option is more for the experienced riders with a good fitness level. 

Join us and get lost in thought as you cycle through forests of ancient oak trees, beautiful scenery, vineyards, apple, and pear orchards. During the summer months, Paul Cluver hosts concerts in their Hope Amphitheatre, a 600 seater natural Amphitheatre surrounded by eucalyptus trees.  The Elgin Valley experience has been described as a 5-star experience and the only of it's kind in the Western Cape. You can cycle a total of 70km round trip, one of the longest single track rides in the country.

After your cycle, we do a wine tasting and have lunch on the estate. (Own expense) Drive back to Cape Town and get dropped at your accommodation. KM = Depends on the route, AM = Depends on the route, W
