St. Francis Bay Road Cycling Routes

[kerstinpackham]

Hi everyone, I want to know if there are good, safe road cycling routes in the St. Francis Bay region? I see that there are a lot of MTB routes but I haven't seen much on road routes. 

Also, how safe are the routes? Is drunk driving an issue there? I'm going to the area in Dec. and I'm not familiar with it much.

Other than the local residential roads in St Francis Bay, one road in from Humansdorp with fair shoulder all the way to Seal Point..... the old road from Humansdorp to Jeffreys, little to no shoulder,

It will be December, expect the worst! Get a gravel bike and stay off the roads..plenty of tracks around including a challenging run to Aston Bay along the coast!

There is one road in and out of St Francis
It gets busy, it gets windy and it gets boring quite quickly.

There used to be a really active roadie group who met every morning at 6:30 (or was it 6:00) at the Links Circle. And every day it was Humans Dorp and back. or Humans Dorp and the Quarry. Or Humans Dorp and The Farm Gate and sometimes it was Humans Dorp and Hankie and back.

The Jeffery's Bay Rd is really not recommended.
A few too many fatalities there.

So, my wife and I now take our gravel bikes and explore the many options, which include Humans Dorp, Oyster Bay, the single tracks and trail between St Francis Bay and the Light House etc.

There are stacks of cyclists - most of them on fatter rather than skinnier tyres.
