Both mornings if you are lucky!

A year ago, on 13 September, we lost Meurant Botha and JP van Zyl – two friends who shared many kilometres, laughs and adventures on these trails. ❤️
This year, we're marking the day in a way they would have appreciated: bikes, singletrack, friends, beer, boerie and a fire.
Beards, Bikes & Beers Ride
Sunday 13 September | 08h30
Dirtopia Trail Centre @ Muratie
Come ride with us, or simply join us afterwards for a beer & boerie and share some stories.

TRAILS ARE OPEN THIS SUNDAY 🌿🚵♀️🏃
We have the INTO THE VALLEY TRAIL RUN @ Dirtopia happening from the Trail Centre this Sunday, 23 August – but our regular Muratie trail network will remain OPEN as usual for mountain bikers and hikers.
The event runners will be heading away from the usual Muratie routes and into the Knorhoek Valley, using the Knorhoek loops before returning to the Trail Centre.
If you're not taking part in the event, you can still come and enjoy your usual Sunday morning on the Muratie trails at the normal day permit fee.
