Pondo-Pedal Mountain Bike Tour

The Pondo-Pedal Mountain Bike tour is the perfect tour to cut your teeth on if you looking for a whetting of wild coast trail riding, and are perhaps a little short of leave, friends... or looking for a stepping stone to the Lower Wild Coast MTB Adventure.
 
Our 3 day Pondo-Pedal to Mtentu and back, packs the adventure and experience of Wild Coast riding into a long weekend. Starting out at the Wild Coast casino (Port Edward), we'll cycle to the newly renovated Mtentu Lodge. Spend a free day paddling up the gorgeous Mtentu estuary, swimming under forgotten falls in Mkambati Nature reserve or cycling through to Msikaba. We'll spend two nights at the lodge before cycling back to the Wild Coast casino via a different route. Depending on the time and tides, we'll cycle a beach route one way and an inland route the next - stopping at local villages for a cold quart or a plunge in one of the natural pools along the way.

The Pondo-pedal tour can be extended down to Mbotyi or even as far as Port St John's, depending on your support and back-up requirements. However these tour extensions will be customised tours so we'll provide a quote on request.

Tours are best timed to coincide with a full or new moon period so we can take advantage of the hard-pack beaches created by the spring low tides. The route is reasonably technical with some short, but steep, hills, some tricky sections along cattle paths and long sections of beach riding so a reasonable level of fitness and mountain biking skills is recommended.
