As the temperature gets milder during Autumn, March and April promises to create more memories for you and your mountain bike & trail running buddies with Dirtopia.
As it is cycling month and the end of the rental season – Dirtopia is selling well-kept hire bikes from as little as R4000 for Giant Revels to Talons for R7500. Pop in or send us an email for sizes.
With the Absa Cape Epic passing through our Simonsberg trails during stage 6, our trail maintenance team will be hard at work to keep our singletrack in tip-top shape.
Watch the Dirtopia social media pages for rides that you can join, opening times for the Trail Centre and perhaps a new announcement soon… For the love of coffee, Dirtopia Café will serve only at events in the future, but the Trail Centre will still be open at Delvera from 7am on weekends. Permits are available online too www.dirtpass.co.za
SpurFest, the Spur Interschools MTB Festival is taking place 28-31 March and based on the original Dirtopia Festival schedule – it is sure to be a lot of fun! For details and to enter www.spurmtbleague.co.za
The League is going from strength to strength and the demand on our time is causing a few changes to Dirtopia from the start of 2019, as we have geared up to resource the League properly through this next phase of growth.
It is clear that the League embodies everything that was at the root of our instigations and ethos many years ago.
21 March - FALKE Full Moon Hike @Delvera
Rated as one of the most beautiful sunset views with Table Mountain as backdrop! This month the event will be even more popular during the school break and as it falls on a public holiday, make sure you secure your space, as bookings are always limited.
Start the hike through the scenic Delvera vineyards between 5 & 6pm until you reach the top of Klapmutskop; which offers the most rewarding panoramic views of the Winelands as you wait for the full moon to rise and light up the valley.
Farm vehicles are available to transport children and elderly hikers to the start of the shorter 4,5km route at the famous Pepper Tree from where it will take about 30 minutes to the top.
Remember to bring good walking shoes and torch / headlamp. Bookings is essential
