Hi all 👋 Are there any good WhatsApp cycling groups for the Garden Route area that one can join? George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, and Knysna are all in play. Ideally, I'm looking for a local group / community that shares info and awareness around safety, routes, races etc. Any recommendations would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Im heading to Mossel Bay over December/January and keen to ride with groups. Let me know please. Thanks.

Good day everyone, Hope you are all well and getting pumped for those holiday rides. I am going away to Ballots Bay (by George) and Noetzie (by Knysna) this December (2021), and I have planned a few possible routes to do on my gravel bike, but in terms of safety, I’m not sure about any of them. I will be cycling alone, unless anyone wants to meet up and join me (send me a DM and we can see if we can arrange something). Could anyone tell me what routes listed below are best, and if there are any other routes I could maybe look into.

Following last year's example in a desperate attempt to find greener pastures, a Southeaster-less, damp riding environment and even some loam, we headed about four hours up the N2 towards the Garden Route. Click here to view the article

Some advice please guys. My wife and I will be on holiday in Hartenbos again from next week and as in the past plan on doing lots of cycling on the extended network of gravel roads in the area between Mosselbaai and George. In the past we had no safety issues, but the last time we were there was 2 years ago, so what's the situation like currently wrt safety on these back roads? Any roads/areas that we should avoid? We normally ride early mornings. Thanks!

The Garden Route town of George will be transformed into a significant mountain biking destination with the introduction of the Tour of Homewood, a new three-day mountain bike stage race, to be based at Fancourt, South Africa’s premier golf resort from 4-6 September 2015.
