Swartberg Pass
• We are perfectly situated 3km from the turn-off to the Swartberg Pass.
• The first summit at Teeberg is a 14km ride from Yellow House with 750m of ascend. It should take the average rider about 90 minutes up and 30 minutes down.
• Or you can push through to The Top, which is 19km from Yellow House and 920m of ascend. Two hours to The Top and 45 minutes back down to a cold beer.
The Hell
• This epic ride is a must for any serious rider. It’s a tough 6-7 hour ride into The Hell, and the same back.
• Very serious riders can consider a day ride in and out, but that is extreme.
• For the more average, but still fit riders, we suggest a two day trip.
• We can help you put a package together where we will arrange accommodation in The Hell and we will cater for you for dinner and breakfast, as well as seconding along the way.
Meiringspoort
• This is a very easy, relaxed ride.
• We travel by vehicle to Klaarstroom. From there we cycle through Meiringspoort to De Rust.
• This is downhill all the way, so we cycle non-stop to get the feel of the kloof. At De Rust we have a nice cup of coffee and a snack at Ray’s coffeeshop.
• We then cycle back, stopping at various drifts where I will give you some information about the history of the kloof.
• At Uitspan, about two thirds of the way back, we have a lovely lunch with a few braai snacks ands drinks. Menu negotiable.
• From there we cycle back to the cars, head home for a relaxing afternoon and look forward to a delicious dinner served by top chef Petro Lotz at Yellow House.
Various Circular Routes
• We have routes through Karoo landscape from a 1 hour, 90 minutes up to a three hour loop.
• Again we can arrange for back-up and water points on arrangement.
