Thanks guys I will start with the mtb, and will start reading this thread from page 1. No showers at work, but figured if I leave early enough I can take my time and then push when it's home time and maybe even do a quick detour via the dam in summer. I like your little box there ChrisF????

The route has 2 climbs, not big ones but still enough to get the heart pumping and the sweat flowing; and the one stretch, has a slight incline in the road. The gravel section, I'm not too sure about thorns. I have cycled the back roads many a time but not the last stretch (yellow line (gravel/grassy patch) and pavement part). This stretch is along a main busy road, but not as busy as a cape town road. I would be cycling from George CBD to the George Mall.

Hi All. Advice please. I may be changing job positions within my company and as a result should be able to cycle to work on some days as new location is alot 'safer' than current location. I currently have a mtb cannondale si scalpel 6, but would like advice/ suggestions and what to do and not to do as well as preferred bike. Should I look into getting a road bike/ gravel bike our commute with the mtb. The planned route will be mostly back roads with a section of cycling within the yellow lines (there is an offroad/grassy/gravel type section, which may be safer depending on traffic) and pavement cycling (few pedestrians)for the last stretch. It's about a 7-9km ride at a guess.

My new Cannondale scalpel si6. Still on the trainer for bike setup.

Hi, I'm Natasha. Originally from Cape Town and now residing in George. I got my entry level MTB silverback in 2014; did the Knysna Oyster festival 50kms and just stopped riding. I have started up again in November 2017 and still a complete noob. There are some great routes here, which I ride with others but will soon have to brave them by myself (not to keen to ride alone) due to my cycling partner going to Botswana for a period. I'm hoping to upgrade this year as well.
