Riding venues

Where to ride? So many tracks, so little time. Getting to them all slowly, very slowly.

Braamfontein Spruit

Home base to so many riders. Keep up with the happenings on the Spruit.

Training

On the bike, off the bike. Indoors, outdoors. Riding, running, gyming, spinning. Sweating!

Cast & Character

It’s not about the bike. It is about the people. These are the people you might meet along the way.

Riding all over Johannesburg this long weekend

Submitted by on April 4, 2010 – 7:18 pmOne Comment

Friday was a wash out – rain, rain and more rain – we called it quits after an hour.  It was a trade off between missing the mileage or risking flu.  Saturday took us from Rosebank to Northern Farms, around Northern Farms and back – about 100km’s and just over 6 hours.  Where we could we stayed off road. I went on to do a kind of duathlon which involved 2 hours of shopping with my wife.  Mike recons that was worth at least another 1.5km’s.  I think more.

Today we went hill hunting, we clocked Munro Drive, Westcliff ridge, Melville Koppies, Alberts Farm and Northcliff water tower – about 45km’s or so.  Tomorrow we plan to ride to Hartebeespoort Dam where we get collected (or not) – either way looking to do another 100km’s or so.

The pictures were captured en route over the past 3 days.
