PedalGoat Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Hi. Taking my mtb to Durban this holidays and planning to cycle from Moses mabida to Umhlanga and back. Has anyone done this before where it avoids roads?
David Marshall Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Can't help with an offroad route but it is a nice ride through the suburbs. Basically follow the M4 through Glenashley, la Lucia, Beachwood etc. Just past Virginia airport you can duck under the M4 and ride parallel to the beach all the way into Umhlanga. It's a pleasant ride and if you want to extend it you can do a few loops of the cycle lane past the stadium, beach front and Blue Lagoon. The M4 bridge over the river at Blue Lagoon is the safest crossing and you can add a couple of k's by going on the brick path next to the Umgeni river out and back before heading into the suburbs. Be careful at the roundabouts - drivers are courteous - the shock may kill! PedalGoat 1

JoeMerida Posted November 9 Posted November 9 I thought that you are not allowed to cycle on the M4 between Durban ans Umhlanga Maybe it's Changed. From Umhlanga to Bellito you can Cycle on the M4 though.
