Two local farmers and a friend collaborated with J-Bay Bike Park, Sunnyvale Trails, Bluegum farm and Crossways Trails to bring mountain bike fans a 200 km network of trails. Called 3 Rivers, it is considered the largest trail network in the Eastern Cape.

Choose your distance by combining trails to suit your need - 65 km of single track, as well as children's courses, mean the whole family can get involved.
