OVERVIEW This is a perfect little dorp for a family escape or to come and ride with mates.
On your bike Roll out of town and over the Gobos River bridge. A sharp right takes you into the first section of singletrack, which twists and turns through the forest before spitting you out onto the Krige road. Cross the road and do a jeep track before crossing Riviersonderend Road to either start a long climb (Blue route) or a flowing bit of singletrack that takes you back towards the village. The climb takes you up to the top of ‘Zig-Zag’, with views of Greyton, then down fast singletrack to join the Yellow route and some more singletrack along the river banks through the village. And if you’re keen to explore the many hectares of commonage around Greyton, be our guest...
Off the bike Restaurants, hiking trails, trail running, lots of shops, coffee shops, Saturday morning market.
