We’ve often driven the R44 into the coastal town of Kleinmond in the Western Cape Overberg and noticed cyclists riding along the road verge and on the tracks and paths on the slopes of the Kogelberg Mountains to the north of the road. Keen to join in, we discovered that the Kleinmond Cycle Club has managed to secure access to this privately owned land and laid out a couple of routes for their members.
Kleinmond is a delightful little holiday town situated inside a UNESCO declared biosphere about 90km from Cape Town. Holidaymakers flock here in summer, enjoying its Blue Flag beaches, friendly locals, golf course, hiking trails and, of course, its mountain biking trails.
