Trails along the Dolphin Coast

[Downhill-Chick]

Hi

 

I have recently moved house about 18km North past Ballito.

 

Does anyone know of any good and safe trails besides Holla Trails near and around the North Coast? Pref DH.

 

Thanks and happy riding

Hi there

 

I live in Ballito. Besides Holla, there are a lot of dirt roads that link together all over the place from Durban to Stanger. I've also done quite a bit of riding on the sugar cane jeep tracks between Ballito and Stanger, but tubeless required as the duiveltjies are thick.

 

In terms of DH, there's no proper singletrack to speak of (that I know of). The only offroad downhill worth mentioning is the drop from Glendale Heights to the Umvoti valley floor. The descent is 5.5km long, averaging about 15-20%. But it's a dirt road, not trail.
