The winter months are a great time to spend digging! And it seems that the Eastern Cape in particular is a-buzz with trail building activity this year. The Slipperfields Mountain Bike Trails outside PE opened in April, while the Impala Ranch Trails near Jeffrey’s Bay have hosted a couple of races but are not yet officially open to the general public. In Gauteng meanwhile, an exciting development was concluded at the Benoni Country Club. With golf course income dwindling the Benoni Country Club invested in MTB trails on the club grounds. The route planners have made every effort to ensure that both golf and mountain biking can co-exist simultaneously on the property. We hope it’s the first of many golf course/MTB routes in SA!
