Beginner Rider PE

Looking for any other beginner riders who might want to cycle from Grassroof on the Seaview Road about 15km’s. Female and don’t want to go alone and scared of traffic to cycle in town????

Is your mind set on road cycling? There is a massive mountain biking community in PE with lots of scheduled rides. If you do end up cycling that road be careful, I know of quite a few fatalities.

Beautiful stretch of road that. I have cycled it on a number of occasions. Find a buddy as there have been some incidents along that road in the past.

 

Wish I could cycle it now actually. Welcome to cycling, it’s a great sport.

The Seaview Road can be a bit dangerous; the cars fly down there.  If you are looking for a quieter road, that is also quite flat, and can start from Grassroof, then cycle along Sardinia Bay Road.  You can turn around at Skoenies, or if you want to do a longer distance, go along Marine Drive.

I see you are on MTB, tomorrow 6;30 from Virgin Active Lorraine the TITS(time in the saddle) group ride to St. Albans Church for pancakes etc at the open air market. Gravel and tar non technical and flat route about 50km with beginners on all rides looked after and nobody gets left behind. You can also join from Kragga Kamma Checkers 6:45 for a bit shorter route. Both places have safe parking.

 

Just pitch up in time and introduce yourself, you will enjoy the ride.

Not if you are a female riding alone. That stretch of road is getting a bit of a bad reputation with the recent robberies. There are even signs warning that it is a high crime area.
