Danger Dassie

Bollocks!!! There is a rack though that's used for motorbikes, wheels clamp into a channel. Similar to the Thule.

Reckon I may make a cameo appearance ....

Maybe, maybe not .... Will do, next year..... Reckon a new years ride at van Gaalen is in order, have suggested it to Hog and Mark Sockton the other day.

HR you should know better than to post photos of a photographer, there is a reason we work behind the lens. Especially when the photographer has many many pictures of you

Yep, them wee fellas are (were) a trail hazard for sure!

Rodney king, rodney king, rodney king...!!

Next time we have a braai/potjie you must come round. Can even bring the Niner

We should throw that bike on a fire sometime, I'm sure it's got some kind of dark voodoo !

Gorgonzola

Wow... kudos to him!

i thought that "little rampy bit where the power pylons are" was a bit too cumbersome. Oh right, that one

The Spruit has climbs?

Nametags were mentioned! ...... No no no no no NO!

Oooh this is going get nasty ....

Theres also a Thule model that bolts directly onto the spare wheel. Leaving the towbar open for a trailer if need be. Unfortunately it takes a max of two bikes.

Agteros, shot for the coffee! Was .... ayoba

Hi Dirk, I'll send you a private mail. I have numerous shout of all three of those teams. They are also up on Gallo/Getty images as well as some of them on http://imagesyndicate.multiply.com

Absolutely one of the top rides so far Thanks to you and your fam for organising everything Denise! Your family brew a mean boerie! As for the singlespeed.... no comment!

Never had any issues at Groenies or Teak, the Spruit nor NF for that matter, Unfortunately this does put a different spin on things at NF though. I have seen (CSS) armed response patrolling NF before, given the proximity to Diepsloot and the growing popularity of NF I suppose there would be somone trying their luck. I hope this was just an opportunist. Pity the lady who was hijacked did not stay around, a description and some important details could have passed on to assist in preventing something like this in future. Using the young chaps from Diepsloot to patrol the area is definitely a step in right direction!!

Got this from one of the climbing forums. Sorry to put a non-climbing related topic in here, but a lot of climbers have been riding up at on the new track around Tranquilitas lately and I know some are planning to bring bikes in the next few months. Please take note that at present no-one is allowed to ride anywhere in the Sappi plantations and forestry areas. This is a seasonal closure due to the increased fire risk at this time of the year. The closure will be in place until the end of the ?fire season? in Oct/Nov 09. Please respect this closure as ignoring it will jeopardize future access. As for anywhere else, like the wattle plantations just above the chalets, a new permit system is in place - you need to sign on the dotted line and pay a small fee for obvious reasons. Ride on (but don't stop climbing!!!) _________________ Gustav Roc 'n Rope Adventures Waterval Boven 013 257 0363 rocrope dot com

Good idea on the donations... while we're at I'll put up my banking details too. Save the endangered dassie

This going to be rawcus!

Look, what you do with it is your business. I'm just making a donation.

For NF, about two laps of the perimeter, longer than that it's better to go outside towards Hennops and back. That can give you 60km easily.

I can donate a guina fowl
