"I have been riding the Fedgroup Trails during various stages of their development for longer than 20 years. Over time, as mountain biking has become more popular, the trails network within Fedgroup Trails has developed into a professionally built, well-marked and consistently maintained trails network that is both challenging and rewarding. There are routes suitable for all skill and fitness levels and there’s a high level of safety, which is important in South Africa. I’m excited that the mountain bike trails in the Cradle of Humankind region have a promising future under the Fedgroup Trails management and look forward to spending many more years enjoying them."
