Catatonic_Joe Posted December 24, 2021 Share Hi guys, I'm in Uitenhage staying with my in laws for a few weeks. I wanted to know if there's any trails to ride in the area. I see there is Slipperfields, but that's about 60km's out for me. Anything in the Rocklands area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndlovu Posted December 24, 2021 Share That's probably the closest to you, followed by Crossways. Surprised that it's 60km from Uitenhage though, I would have guessed it was about 30-40km. justinafrika and Catatonic_Joe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catatonic_Joe Posted December 24, 2021 Share Thanks, you're right, it's 22kms, somebody told me it's 60km's. Will give it a try in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACM Posted December 24, 2021 Share Agree that Crossways is worth the drive. Lots of nice trails and views 👍🏻 Catatonic_Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaynejG Posted December 24, 2021 Share And the Crossways restaurant has Jack Black on tap. For me probably one of the best tap beers out there. Catatonic_Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaynejG Posted December 24, 2021 Share Uitenhage is close enough to PE for a Baakens River ride. Start at the containers, drop down through the valley then along the beachfront to the lighthouse at Pine Lodge and back again. justinafrika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower bit of the Valley is not advisable by yourself. I am not in PE at the moment. How long you in Uitenhage for? I am back around the 3rd or 4th of January and will happily join you.
