Checked other topics on Suikerbosrand but they haven't been updated in a while.

I'm wanting to go an do the Suikerbosrand Loop, has anyone been there lately, and is it safe to cycle there alone?

Definitely safe to cycle alone. Only risk is if you have a fall down. You might wait for another cyclist or car to come past for a while.

and depending on which cell network you are on you may not have signal in certain areas.

Not aware of any crime incidents at SBR and often cycle there on my own. Once had an unrepairable puncture and had a long walk and long wait for assistance !

There quite a bit of relevant info on this thread (current state of affairs).

Hi everyone!
Almost 9 months on from the original post, is it still safe to ride at Suikerbosrand?

Still safe, just take precaution with SA champs going through there in a little over 2 weeks and in an anti clockwise direction, a lot of people are riding the route backwards at the moment.
