With its stunning views, rugged mountains and epic trails, Stellenbosch is a haven for mountain bikers – but none of it would be possible without the trail builders.
There are many biking trails and compounds in the Stellenbosch area, including sites such as Coetzenburg trails, Hellsend and G-Spot. They cater to riders of all ages and experience levels, and allow an unparalleled experience of Stellenbosch’s natural landscape. They also require careful planning and meticulous maintenance.
In this documentary, we engage with the builders behind these trails. To better understand the skill that goes into their work, and the joy that comes with being an integral part of the biking community.
