<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe A-2-Z Trail includes 26 sections of single track in the Grabouw Forest and Pine Plantations and is managed by Cape Pine,\u201d says Johan Kriegler, FNB W2W MTB Director. \u201cThe A section starts near the exit of Gantouw Pass. The Z section is the last section, before riders leave the Grabouw Forest, to cross over a stream via a PERI Bridge on the Eikenhof farm, on their way to the finish at Oak Valley Wine Estate. Section A is the highest point and section Z the lowest point, therefore it is mostly downhill\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe circle route that will be opened to public will be 36km in length, however the route that W2W entrants will get to experience will be 23km in length,\u201d continues Kriegler. \u201cInteresting features to look out for will include wooden bridges crossing over streams, berms, the Winch (steep uphill climb wooden structure over rocks), Rock-a-Roll (a long wooden structure over and between rocks that goes up a steep embankment) as well as stunning scenery\u201d.<\/p>\n
The A-2-Z trails will officially open on Saturday, 13 June 2015 just in time for a fun long weekend of mountain biking. Riders can purchase a day permit at the Cape Pine gate, opposite the Grabouw Country Club. <\/p>\n
Rated according to the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) standards, the A-2-Z Trail is a Blue\/More Difficult\/Intermediate rated trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
