The Bike Weeks Story
In November 2026, SouthSky launches the first edition of an annual gathering: South Africa’s Bike Weeks, presented by LEATT, one of South Africa’s leading mountain biking apparel and protection brands.
Created as a yearly meeting point for riders from around the world, Bike Weeks is not a race and not a stage event, but a shared riding journey — built around community, exploration, and the best of South African riding.
For two weeks, South Sky opens a single, public itinerary that riders from all over the world can join. You don’t come alone — you arrive as part of a group of like-minded people who love bikes, adventure, and good company. With accommodation of your choosing, from simple and comfortable to more premium. Some join for a few days, some for a full week, some for the whole experience — but everyone rides the same story, together.
Each day unfolds with purpose. World-class mountain biking through iconic landscapes. Flowing singletrack carved into mountain slopes. Gravel roads winding through valleys and vineyards. Trails that locals ride before and after work — now opened to you by the people who know them best.
Learn More
Your guides aren’t just leading the way — they’re locals. Riders who grew up here, who understand the land, the communities, and the history beneath the tyres. They show you the hidden viewpoints, the quiet trails, the places you won’t find on a map. They share what Stellenbosch means to them, what the valleys represent, and how mountain biking shaped their lives.
But SouthSky isn’t only about riding—it’s about slowing down after the ride. Sitting around a long table with new friends. Tasting wine where it’s grown. Laughing over shared stories from the trail. Learning the rhythm of a place instead of just passing through it.
You don’t need to know anyone when you arrive — the bike takes care of that. Shared climbs become shared conversations. Long days on the trail turn strangers into friends. By the end, you don’t just leave with photos and memories — you leave with people.
This is an invitation to escape winter. To ride in the sun. To experience South Africa through those who live and ride here. To be part of something social, meaningful, and unforgettable.
Fourteen days. One shared itinerary. Riders from around the world. This is SouthSky – South Africa’s Bike Weeks.
Stellenbosch is situated 50km outside Cape Town and just 30 minutes from the airport. Surrounded by vineyards, mountains and 800+ km of trails, it is widely regarded as the Mecca of Mountain Biking in South Africa.
