<\/a>Garden Route Trail Park HQ. All the trails are accessed from here and be sure to pop into the Trail Cafe for something to eat afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Leaving the trail centre, you traverse through active commercial farmland, so keep an eye out for the locals crossing the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The greater area through which these trails wind has very little in the form of level surface. You’re either going up or down, with some sections getting pretty steep. #intervals<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Top of the initial climb and into some wide open, fast, flowing bermy goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nPieter Henning<\/cite>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Descending down into the thick forest the singletrack gets fast and technical with some tight sections for those with wider bars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>Natural beauty with lush greenery and streams as you descend further towards the river.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Ferns, moss and tacky soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Even after a couple of loops on this trail, it can still catch you out if you don’t respect it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Mechanical issues are part of the game, specially if you put out as much torque as Tyrone and snap your chain. #alwayscarrysparelinks<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>These trails don’t feature much in terms of natural rock gardens, with only a few patches along the way. Best way to ride them is not to ride them at all… just come in hot and skip over them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
