Durban MTB

[PedalGoat]

I stay either in Bluff or Riverside when I'm in Durbs. My routes are down the promenade and a few back roads via La Lucia. Are there any safe mtb routes to Umhlanga? Wouldn't mind riding the beach road.

I would certainly never ride the M4!  Certainly not at this time of the year.  Early morning is worse than at night.

I know there are guys and clubs that ride this route but not for me....never again.

In saying that, there is a route inland from Riverside to Umhlanga and then you can ride the beachfront, if you can manage to fit in between the crowds.

I meant the beach road and not M4. Agreed, which is why I hate road cycling I downloaded Komoot and managed to find some inner roads. Thanks.

Maybe link up with East Coast Cycling club. They have a lot (to me) of MTB and road groups. From mad to insane🙈🙈. Just joking; very friendly club, particularly the MTB with groups A to D most Saturdays starting 05h30 🙃but north of Durbs.
