Phalaborwa cycling safety

[Underachiever]

Hi fellow Hubbers

I will be in the area for the 1st time during Dec holidays.  Any watchouts, areas/roads not to ride on?

Thanks!!!

Hi there. My folks live near Letsitele which is not too far from there. I ride that side when I visit, I would be more worried about a Kruger National Park escapee than people. Some roads may not have a shoulder if you're on a road bike. I do an annual ride in the Tzaneen area on the 27th of Dec. Pop me a msg if you're keen to join 80-100 km (3-4 hrs).

Thanks SR!!

Will be on the MTB.  Google shows a really nice gravel shoulder on the roads towards Tzaneen and Mica.  Will give it a go!!

Only in the area until the 19th, but appreciate the invite!!! Be safe and enjoy!!
