Trails in Gqeberha

[Beenie]

Hey hubbers,

I’ll be spending some time in PE this December - any nice safe trails you suggest? I’ll be riding alone, so safety is a factor. 
 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Sent you a DM...

Yep, Baakens River is safe. Just be carefull in the bottom sections. Crossways is safe and has a lot of trails.

Definitely crossways

[Beenie]

Thank you all for the steer. Looks like some nice trails to explore!

I'm also heading there.

Is it worth taking an Enduro bike?

Minimal elevation in PE, some fun sections in baakens valley for enduro bikes but 99% xc trails. If you happy to pedal an enduro bike crossways (3riverstrails) has some decent decents. But an xco / trail bike would be optimal

The Port Elizabeth Golf Club also has some singletrack loops that flow nicely for an in-town place to ride

I was once warned about the section from River Road, Walmer into Settlers Park to the bridge at the bottom of Brickmaker's...any info on that section

thank you. I don't love long pedals on the Enduro bike (downhill tyres suck up hills). I'm on the waiting list for a Roscoe so hopefully it comes soon. Otherwise I will just take my jump bike

Yes, that section is best done with other riders. Give me a shout when you here. I am on leave from the 15th and will happily tag along if I am available. From River road back up to the start is pretty safe.

Nice little skatepark on PE beachfront, although over Christmas new years I would avoid.

GrassRoof have a nice tar pump track with some smaller jumps and an airbag if you do bring your jumpbike

For roadies:

And Seaview....

For Seaview, avoid the intersection of Buffelsfontein and 10th Ave, leave or return via Glendor Road thru Pari mPark/Mount Pleasant if you want to close the loop

[capediver]

Don't forget Crazy Dave's Bikepark if you looking for some jumps, if its still open....De Stades Road Colleen Glen
