MOUNTAIN BIKING - KAROO1

Mountain biking across the farm

	Have fun on our MTB tracks and surprise the red hartebees, gemsbok, springbok, zebras and other game that roams on the farm. Refresh in our natural rock pool in the kloof or relax in the Casbah bar while you enjoy a few drinks, lekker food and good ambience.

35km route

Starts with a 3km dual track to the foot of "Fossil koppie” where you can still see real fossils embedded in the rocks. From there a fairly bumpy and rocky single track will take you to the top of the koppie, followed by a fast dual track descent (watch out for washaways). You’ll then pedal a loop through the eastern section of the farm, following sections of the original dirt road towards Kimberley. A rocky 2km single track climb to the peak of "Gemsbok koppie” is followed by a dual track towards the Hex River Valley and De Doorns lookout. Expect a few sandy patches, as well as potential great game viewing on this section. The route returns via single track with a climb to Boplaats and finishes on a dual trail near the Karoo1 Hotel.

15km route

Is relatively flat and easy but includes the 1km single track climb to the summit of Fossil koppie - perfect for beginners or not-so-fit riders.
