L.T.G Posted June 7, 2017 Share I'm planning a short break for my little family in July.. I'm thinking Natal north coast, won't be balmy but should be much better than Xmas in July in JoziI might take a bike along, previous experiences have taught me to not plan to ride while on holiday, but grab a ride if the opportunity's there.. it's not the main purpose of going away with THEM.So.... after all that digression ... Any suggestions for road routes from Umhlanga? Something scenic and as "safe" as can be (I use the term very loosely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted June 7, 2017 Share you could try to M4 going north to Ballito or Umdloti. Beware of the cars. Or stay within Umhlanga, ride down to Durban through the suburbs and loop back via Kensington / Umhlanga rocks drive pass Gateway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamS2 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Go do circuits at Moses Mabida. Please don't try ride the M4 unless you know the road well and join a group. It's really not a safe road for cyclists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogitoErgoSum Posted June 7, 2017 Share The M4 is not safe. I was there two weeks ago for a quick break woth the family. There is a few property developments on the M4 and in Umhlanga. This equates to a number of large trucks in the area. Safest bet is to do the circuit at Kings Park. Safe parking. Nice restaurants at the new stadium as well.

Veebee Posted June 7, 2017 Share circuits are no fun, who wants to ride around in squares on holiday ?? Explore a bit, its fine to ride around Umhlanga, la Lucia and into Durban for coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted June 7, 2017 Share circuits are no fun, who wants to ride around in squares on holiday ?? Explore a bit, its fine to ride around Umhlanga, la Lucia and into Durban for coffee.Exactly. Don't know if the circuit is safer than the M4 though. Both are very dangerous in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't take my bike with when I went down. If I could, Holla it would have been. The circuit seems cool. Well at least the roadies going in circles look cool Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
