Trails in around of East London

[Ant85]

Going to East London, more specific Gonube for a couple of days.

 

Checking mtbroutes.co.za and seeing no trails close to this.

 

There is one at Port Alfred 200km, and one north closer to the Transkei.

 

Does anyone know of a closer trail?

You can try the pine forest behind the fig tree pub, but its not safe to go alone.

 

Lavender blue track on the old gonubie/beacon bay rd

 

Or the trials I mentioned in the other thread

 

I know some of the trials are listed on the eastern cape mtb website, just google it (i am on my phone and cant get the link)

Thanks I know the Lavender Blue market, but didn't know they had trails. Is it safe in the EC for my wife and I, especially near Lavender blue there is a sizeable township nearby.

 

Googling now

lavender should be fine safety wise. i am just not sure as to the condition of the trail after the recent rain.

 

another option is the 2 Swans loop, but its difficult to find and follow if you don't know it.

 

the best option is 3 silos https://www.facebook.com/3SilosMtbAdventureTrails

 

when are you coming down? maybe we can make a plan to get together and i can show you around, otherwise check out Funtrax MTB Club on vleisbook. we are planning quite a few rides during the holidays and you are welcome to join us.

Thanks, contacted the 3 silos on Facebook, and looks good.

 

Yes sure will pm you my number, bringing my wife back into the MTB thing after a year absence after our son was born. Her last stint was the 24hr race last year in Van Gaalens cheese farm, North west
