XCape provides guided one day or multi-day cycle trips for MTB, downhill and road bike riders of reasonable fitness. We cater for trail, downhill, cross country or road rides, or a combination of these. Trips are designed around your preferences and levels of fitness and skill. It is recommended you bring your own bike as those that can be hired are usually entry level bikes. XCape arranges travel, accommodation, meals, scenic tours and onward journeys if required. Certain biking expeditions may include accommodation as part of the package due to their remote locations. You also get to choose the level of accommodation (where possible) according to your needs and your budget. XCape also runs training camps for XC riders. These camps are co-hosted by one of South Africa's top DH riders who is also the only South African ever to take part in world champs for DH, BMX, Dual Slalom and XC. XCape is owned and run by Johan Oosthuizen, a Cape Town local. Johan rides anything that has two wheels and pedals and takes part in regional and provincial championships in Downhill and participate in endurance Cross Country events. He also does a lot of road riding as part of his training schedule for longer XC races – like the legendary Trans-Baviaans, a 24-hour/230km cross country race which he's entered a few times. Johan is easy-going and friendly and is passionate about his cycling and his country. |
