We’re a passionate group of road cyclists and mountain bikers with a focus on community.
Wine Lands Cycling Club is founding member and driving force of the Wine Lands Trails initiative.
The initiative is an agreement between Banhoek Conservancy, Bottelary Hills Conservancy, Elgin Valley trails, Franschhoek Wine Valley trail, Paarl Trails, Wellington Trails, Stellenbosch Trail Fund, MTO Jonkershoek and Van Loveren Java trails to allow access to all these network for Wine Lands Trails Regional Permit Holders.
The Wine Lands Cycling Club has developed a network of trails (in excess of 180 km) on the wine farms along the foot of the Helderberg, with trail difficulty grades ranging from easy to challenging, and scenery from spectacular to stellar. The trails provide fun riding opportunities for families, good training workouts for serious athletes and everything in between.
Park and Ride
Park and ride from either one of the trail heads located at: Somerbosch Winery, 96 Winery Road Restaurant, Spier Wine Estate, the Thirsty Scarecrow or Waterstone Village Shopping Center (upper deck parking area next to the gym).
The Wine Lands Cycling Club started out as a road cycling club and is still very active in this regard.
With the Wine Lands Cycling Club membership, you gain exclusive access to the road cycling rides organized by the Wine Lands Cycling Club, along with the club’s extensive local MTB cycling trails. When attending group rides on the road, it is requested that the approved club kit be worn by all members.
The new club jersey can be purchased here. The jersey is made by Ciovita and is available in ‘Sport’ and ‘Race’ fit.
