About Slipperfields MTB Trails
Where: Old Cape Road near Uitenhage, just outside PE
Level: all levels; also for trail runners
Type of route: cross-country with single-track and gravel farm roads, aimed at the whole family, but with plenty for those keen to test their speed limits

When: weekends and public holidays, 6am to 5pm
Best: all year round
Slipperfields MTB Trails are on a farm that doubles as a wedding venue (but is so much more than a wedding venue). Not that the trails have anything to do with, or come anywhere near, the conference area. They lie instead at the base of Lady Slipper Mountain, and have been designed solely for mountain bikers and trail runners (cyclists be on the look out for runners!).
A typical countryside setting away from the city, Slipperfields is close to Blue Horizon Bay, Van Stadens, Maitland River Mouth, Jeffreys Bay, and only 20 minutes' from Port Elizabeth.
The trails are aimed at family riding, but there is enough technical challenge for those after a hard ride – the downhill Viper Trail (also known as the vomit hill, even though the downhill is non technical, it has a number of berms and drop offs).
Slipperfields has a restaurant.
