For the serious mountain biking enthusiasts there are many kilometres of gravel roads and technical rides on and around Mount Ceder. A drop off some distance away could also be arranged for a small fee, giving you the opportunity to cycle as far as you choose back to your house.
We have 3 different mountain biking cycling routes. Our Buttonquail, a family friendly 5.9km route through the olive groves; the Sunbird, intermediate 6.7km includes a single-track section and lastly our Rockjumper, an 8.8km for experience riders with a technical single-track section.
Mount Ceder is the ideal spot to do training for your next Cape Epic as you have access to high altitude trails, sand, gravel, rocks and some pretty serious climbs to get you in shape and hone your skills. Make sure you book a house with a Jacuzzi for the post ride relaxation!
