PHILEDELPHIA TO MELKBOSSTRAND

[R E CYCLIST]

Hi

Im planning to ride from Durbanville to Milnerton. Is it safe to cycle on the Old Mamre road to Melkbos or should I ride on the N7.

Many thanks

Old Mamre road is safer than N7, but quite pot-holed.

Most recent photo I can find. It is pretty, especially if you have a tailwind

I would stay off the N7 at all costs.
Way too much traffic.

The other road is fine. Pot holed, but ridable.

And tailwind there will be tomorrow.

Alternatively if you want extra miles and a better conditioned road then hook a right at the T-Junction and go through the out skirts of Atlantis and take the West Coast Road

I avoid the r27 at all costs.
