It’s been more than 10 years since my last MTB Trails Guide by MapStudio was printed, so this little publishing project has been baking in the background for a while now 
And with a bunch of key Sponsors & Advertisers confirmed and in place, the time has come to press the Go Button.

Three QUESTIONS before I do -:
(1) ONE BOOK OR TWO: Do I try to cram ALL the SA trails into a single Trails Guide, or split the BOOKLET into two separate publications as with my previous TOP MTB TRAILS BOOKS (#1 as the CAPE EDITION, and #2 as the ‘REST OF SA’ EDITION)?
(2) GRAVEL OR SINGLETRACK: Not all trails are equal, but neither are all riders. My gut feel is to make this as includive of ALL RIDERS as possible, and therefore include enough beginner routes to grow the sport, while also adding a mix of Gravel Rides and Bikepacking Routes for those keen to explore beyond just singletrack?
(3) YOUR PERSONAL TOP 3: You know your area best, so please tell me which three LOCAL trails would be your MAIN ATTRACTIONS? Be nice, now, and share the stoke
