Beenie Posted November 30, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaynejG Posted November 30, 2022 Share Yep, Baakens River is safe. Just be carefull in the bottom sections. Crossways is safe and has a lot of trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawler Posted December 1, 2022 Share I'm also heading there. Is it worth taking an Enduro bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Port Elizabeth Golf Club also has some singletrack loops that flow nicely for an in-town place to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

GrassRoof have a nice tar pump track with some smaller jumps and an airbag if you do bring your jumpbike Brawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capediver Posted December 1, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capediver Posted December 1, 2022 Share Don't forget Crazy Dave's Bikepark if you looking for some jumps, if its still open....De Stades Road Colleen Glen Brawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
