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! 🙏

Going to Hartenbos in a week's time and normally do lots of riding with my wife in and around Hartenbos / Mossel Bay area, as well as on the extensive network of gravel roads all the way to George, and would appreciate if locals from that part of the world could provide a status update on safety in general in those parts and perhaps advise on routes/areas to avoid, please. I understand riding along the train tracks between Klein Brakrivier and Hartenbos is no longer safe - perhaps someone could confirm this please?

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

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