More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Pinned against the lower slopes of Table Mountain, the Tokai ridgeline opens like a green door to Cape Town’s best singletrack. Riders push off from the Forest Glade Centre and immediately feel the forest—pines that lean and whisper, sandy loam that eats the tires when it rains, and sudden clearings that punch open broad views toward False Bay.
