Tygerberg MTB Club & Tygerberg Hill Trails

Established in the mid 1990’s the Tygerberg Mountain Bike Club has grown to be one of the largest in the country. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, six trails have been established in the Tygerberg Hills area that cater for both beginner or pro cyclists.
