Bionic man Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all, I will be working in Port Elizabeth for a week - 28/01/2008 to 01/02/2008, will be staying in Summerstrand area - beachfront. Where can one cycle in that area (PS - Road bike not MTB)? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
casspir Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 BM, there are quite a number of options available. My rides for this month below. Do you have a Garmin Edge? If so, I could provide some tracks you could use. Regards casspir

Bionic man Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Casspir, looks like I need to update my equipment, can't take a map book on a ride now can I? Strawberry Mama, I could lean into the wind and not fall down in Cape Town this weekend - anyway, maybe they eat too much baked beans in PE

Thanks for that, I might be a bit slow for most groups at the moment so will stick to a ride along Marine drive, give me another 2-3 months then I might keep up with the beginners
