Jonkers Explore Trail Run

Our trail grading: ORANGE 7A
Distance: 18.5km
Extremeness: Technical single track & off-road
Location: Jonkershoek, Stellenbosch, South Africa
Joggers: Deryck Nel & me

This Saturday we were keen to find new routes in Jonkershoek and started up two parts of the Canary MTB trail. We then took the jeep track all the way to the start of the "never-ending" MTB route. From here, we jogged upwards on a trail we noticed during a previous extreme jog. The route turned out to be a tough climb which ends in an awesome contour single track - linking to our "Eastern Loop" single track. We finished the single track and turned onto the jeep track again. Then we tried the steepest down hill single track in Jonkershoek where Deryck almost had a spectacular fall in front of 5 cyclist. Finally we were back on the Canary again and finished the extreme jog with tired legs!
