Gravel routes in and around East London

[Liam_Volschenk]

Hey guys, I will be down in East London for a few weeks, I'd like to know if there are any decent gravel routes around? I'll be staying near Glen Gariff most of the time but obviously happy to travel for a nice route.

There are a few out that way, a few big circular routes depending on the distance you want to do

Whatever you do stay away from the Kwelera to Kei Mouth route. 70km but I died about 100 times.

Yip, EL and surrounds has some wicked hills, a few years back, after being taken on tour by the locals first time round, I had to call the lovely wife to come fetch me at the bottom of the last hill!

Is gravel grinding still popular in and around EL or am I better off finding a road cycling group? MTB is number one, but trying to plan which will be the alternative…
