POV: The Long Run at Helderberg Trails with former World Cup racers
5km and 480m elevation drop with some of the best features in SA makes this one incredible line!
About 40km outside of Cape Town you’ll find Helderberg Trails. Here, chief trail builder Jan Van Schalkwyk has hand crafted over 40 trails, totaling 30km that are XC, Trail and eBike friendly. So rad is Helderberg Trails that big names like Alan Hatherly, Nino Schurter, Greg Minnaar, Jolanda Neff and other superstars of the sport are known to frequent it. Helderberg Trails also regularly hosts stages of the Cape Epic. In this video, former World Cup racers Andrew and Jonty Neethling, who have ridden here since the 90’s, help us piece together sections of the trails creating one very long run. We started at the ‘Top of the World’ trail and linked various trails creating a line just under 5km with about 480m of descent. Hop onboard with us and enjoy the POV.
