There are many mountain bike trails in South Africa but they are not always easy to find. New comers to the sport often ask where can you ride? Well luckily we live in South Africa which is a great place to get out on your bike and has no shortage of places to ride. Most if not all of the riding destinations are natural as opposed to main made trails which are constructed from artificial materials. Mountain biking in Cape Town is one of the favourite destinations with the slopes of Table Mountain providing the ideal backdrop. But there are many other destinations with great mountain ranges like Knysna on the garden route, Drakensberg in Kwa-Zulu Natal, Sabie in Mpumalanga and the Magaliesberg in Gauteng.
