Take marine drive, this merges with forest drive passing la Lucia you will eventually take a right up ann abor rd then left onto ypisulanti rd and right onto inca rd going under the m4 keep to right onto david ave then right on aubrey drive at the stop street. Take a left on marion ave past glenashley boys on left then take a left onto Potomac ave riding with the m4 on the left, at the turning circle keep to left and go under the M4 and take a right onto fairway drive (Virginia airport in front). Carry on until the end of Fairway drive take a right and then left and left again passing the engen garage on the right. Carry on passing the pick n pay on the right. Take a first left turn over the bridge and ride onto the m4 over the Umgeni river and take the first turnoff, take right at the stop street and a left at the robots passing Durban country club and the stadium on the right.

This is the route I usually use in December when I am down there. Another route, although not as good, it to go up to Umhlanga Ridge, take Umhlanga Rocks Drive (M12) and just follow that as it becomes Kenneth Kaunda Rd (I think), then Northway and then past the stadium. Using these two you can make a nice circular route, with some nice climbs.

Does anyone have a gpx file for this by any chance?
