Kleinmond Cycling Club Gears Up for Growth and Community Impact
The Kleinmond Cycling Club (KCC) continues to position itself as one of the Overstrand’s most active and community-focused sporting organisations, thanks to expanding trail networks, growing membership, and a renewed commitment to youth development.
With Kleinmond’s natural scenery and diverse terrain, the town has become a prime destination for mountain biking. KCC has played a central role in maintaining and improving these routes, investing significant volunteer hours and resources into ensuring have access to safe, enjoyable and well marked trails. The club’s Bike Park – a favourite among families and new riders – has also seen steady upgrades throughout the year.
A key priority for KCC has been the development of young cyclists. Through the Kleinmond Cycling Development Academy, local children receive structured skills training, guidance, and opportunities to grow in confidence both on and off the bike. This programme continues to attract new participants and has become a cornerstone of KCC’s community outreach.
The club’s social side is equally strong. Regular group rides, events, and gatherings at the clubhouse have helped establish a welcoming culture that appeals to both recreational riders and more competitive cyclists. With recent improvements to the clubhouse and coffee area, the venue is fast becoming a central meeting point for members to connect before and after rides.
Growing interest in hosting an official mountain bike event in Kleinmond has added further momentum, with KCC exploring the possibility of bringing a large-scale race to the town. Such an event could boost tourism, raise club’s profile, and highlight the unique outdoor opportunities Kleinmond has to offer.
As the club continues to expand its activities, it invites local residents and visitors to get involved. Whether through membership, volunteering, or simply enjoying the trails, everyone can play a role in supporting the region’s cycling landscape.
For KCC, the mission remains clear: build a stronger community through sport, promote healthy living, and showcase the beauty of Kleinmond – one ride at a time.
