December 5 – December 14, 2025

Open Event | Mountainbikers only

If you fly to South Africa to go mountain biking, you want to be 100% sure that you combine the most beautiful trails every day. Well, we give you that guarantee. You gonna Ride with the Locals!

All trail days are scalable in terms of kilometers and elevation meters.
On average, we spend 4 hours a day on our bikes.
From six participants we guide with two guides and from nine participants with three guides. This gives us the opportunity to ride the route a little differently with part of the group for more kilometers or technical challenges.
No program is written in stone.
Depending on the group and the weather, the guides will decide which trails to ride.
Wij hebben er zin aan om jullie te ontmoeten!

Duration: 10 days | 8 nights | 8 trail days

Bike Basement by Bloemendal is the sports department of Bike Totaal Bloemendal in Rijssen. This is the place where we have been presenting our passion for Mountainbike, Gravel and Race bikes for over 25 years. You can contact us for advice on purchasing your dream bike and associated accessories and have beautiful brands such as BMC, Cervelo, Merida, Trek and Wilier. In our Bike Fit studio we will search together for the perfect adjustment and for maintenance on your bike we are a certified Shimano Service Center.

The passion for cycling is in our blood and when owner Peter Bloemendal received the invitation to discover the mountain bike trails of South Africa, he did not have to think twice about it. The more than positive experience of this trip has led to becoming a Partner and it is an honor for us to act as an ambassador.

Feel free to visit the Bike Basement and we will tell you all about it!
