Riding sweet singletrack in Elgin

We spent the past weekend riding the Lebanon and Oak Valley trails in the beautiful Grabouw countryside, staying over at The Oaklane Cottages - fully equipped, self catering and most of all bird friendly accommodation!

Bird - check! Bikes - check! Lets go!

Lebanon trails:

"Situated in the heart of the Elgin Valley, these 4 well marked trails meanders through an array of stunning terrain. The trails offers a unique riding experience that combines rolling orchard, forested pine slopes, mountainous fynbos with breathtaking views."

Oak Valley trails:

"The trails consist of a large percentage of well maintained singletrack, with bridges over farm fences and streams, making for a highly enjoyable ride.
 
The biking trail takes the rider through beautiful natural scenery, including forests of ancient oak trees, through vineyards, through apple and pear orchards and across sub-clover/grass pastures, set against the stunning backdrop of the protected fynbos on the slopes of the Groenlandberg Mountain."

 

In summary - a weekend filled with juicy apples, berms, bridges, cows on trails, strange clouds, fantastic scenary,  sweet singletrack, a super moon, red wine and cosy fires...
