PIETERSFONTEIN DAM

A ride suited for both the average rider and the hard-core racing snake. Flat for the most part. When you reach the T-junction, turn left if you want the short option. Turn right to continue towards the Dam Route, half a kilometre further, turn left and follow the road to the dam. There is a compulsory portage as you climb the steps on the right or left-hand side of the Pietersfontein Dam without your bike as it is all about the view and taking in the beauty of Langeberg. Count the steps. Depending on whether you go out to the dam and which return route you use, you can stretch this ride to a good 53-kilometre training ride.
