Go!Go!Go!



Phew! It's been a fantastic few weeks of riding, trail reconnaissance and travelling and I am finally back, sleeping in my own bed. My spine has been moaning and it's got nothing to do with all the jump digging I've been doing (and nothing to do with my age!).

All this driving and riding is going to translate into more epic and wonderful trips for iRide Africa's customers. We look forward to opening more and more trails in this country which is perfectly primed for the sport.

We have found some beautiful, smooth, traffic free passes to ride on our road riding tours and have met wonderful people and awesome venues to stay at along the way.

Our back country tours are going to expand drastically with the new remote tracks we have found, which will take you into untouched areas of spectacular scenery and introduce you to some of the best bits of South Africa.

Over this last long weekend, we helped out a bit with Dirtopia mountain bike festival, rode some fantastic singletrack, fine tuned our jumping skills and watched South Africa's best riders battle it out between themselves in the marathon, dual, dirt jumps, downhill and Red Bull freestyle events. The event was awesome and chilled and the level of riding was truly entertaining. Check out some of the photos below if you don't believe me!
