Klipbokkop
Worcester, Western Cape

Klipbokkop is much more than a training venue, it is an experience in its own right. The views are nothing short of spectacular, the staff is friendly, the coffee is good, the food is amazing, the training facilities (both man made and natural) are world class and everything runs like clockwork.

The training areas include two large man-made quarries. Each of these quarries offer flat gravel surfaces for slow speed bike control exercises as well as a variety of slopes (long, short, easy gradient, steep gradient, offcamber etc) and obstacles for more advanced exercises. The oval track is used for high speed braking and cornering exercises.

There are several areas with natural obstacles on the farm, but the area that makes Klipbokkop truely unique is the natural sand found along the Brandvlei dam. This includes many kilometres of beach sand that varies from firm (close to the water) to very loose (Further away from the dam) - which we use to gradually build confidence. Large areas of flat sand are used to practise cornering and there are even some dunes for the brave. Finally the labyrinth of sandy and twisty jeep tracks adds the icing on the cake to prepare you for the real world sandy tracks of the West Coast, Namibia, Mozambique etc.
