Day 1:

The Lucernedale Trail awaits you. With a Picnic Lunch pack, the ride is a 40km circular ride from Mt.

Day 3:
An easy 64km ride taking you north from Mt. Melsetter towards the western edge of the Suurberg Range, turning to the west across a vast plain, ringed by mountains, then south through Skelmkoppies, past Lusernvlei and Redlands, to the tarred R56, where you turn east for 16kms back to Mt. Melsetter.
Day 4:
Enough time for a farewell ride, “The Nek Farewell” a 20km ride around the farm of Mt. Melsetter, taking you up to the Nek – a little technical but well worth while – a lovely view point looking East and West, then down through the game in Mountain Camp, and back to Mt. Melsetter’s Karoo House for a latish breakfast to set you up for the journey home.
