On your bike

The Intshitshi Spoor is an easy amble along the banks of the Umzimkulu River, suitable for novices and children. There are a number bridges over farm fences to cross; walk over until you gain confidence. The Umzimkulu Run adds in an extra bit of flat river bank riding with a few fast downhill sections before joining up with the Intshitshi Spoor.

The Milk Run and Jackall Joll are for the big boys. The Milk Run is the access route into single track heaven. From the top you can either crank on to the Jackall Joll or continue on the Milk Run back to the start point. Long climbs and really nice pine forest single-track with incredible berg views are on the menu.
