lone one

a few people have advised me not to carry my carbon road bike on a bike carrier which supports the bike on the cross bar and rather get a carrier which supports it by the wheels. can anyone else advise, as the price difference is massive between the two different carrier options

While on a road ride this morning along cedar road, as coming down the steep hill passed broadaches I saw two MTB riders cross cedar road and back into the bush. By the time I passed I couldn't see anyone and only assume they rode down onto the banks of the Klein Juskei. I didn't know there was a route there it looks incredably dense down there Was it any Hubbers, or dose someone know that route - would like to give it a go with someone familiar with the route

+1 for ME!

Sun is out, pool is warm summer has arrived - but O garden service hasn't!! Any one use a good garden service in the jukskei park/douglasdale area, mine just gave up and bailed says garden is to much work ????? Please help, if no help found I will have to pack my bikes away and use the weekends to garden

Wish I could - doc said I need to rest!????

Online says the tracks are only rideable from 6.30 Never ridden there before, which colour route you thinking of doing?

What do I want - A group of riders that genuinely enjoy riding share experiences, no posers and arrogance

Brown Maybe a bit of black a little later

Been off the bike for the last 10 odd years, and getting back into it and am wondering is it worth joining a club. I have heard mixed feedback, some guys says it good to get to know routes and set up group rides etc and others saying it is just an opportunity to show off and brag about who has the latest and most expensive gadgets. I am in fourways, and the most convienient club for me is a big national one where I pay a reasonable amount of hard earned cash to join and get a lovely branded Lycra outfit. Any thoughts or informal "club" set ups around the area

We meet at the caltex garage on witkoppin, then ride through some of the servitudes in and around lone hill A nice slow and easy pace door to door is about 20 for me Saturday mornings I go a bit longer down witkoppin up past sunning hill hospital up into midrand over new road bridge down onto main through lonehill and home it's about 45km If keen to join tomorrow let me know, it's mostly side of road riding nothing hectic will head out about 5ish

Nothing better than an early morning ride! SO when's it going to happen only a few weeks to year end

Sounds good, I am in fourways and meet another guy near lonehill we do about a 20km ride normally around lone hill area meet up at 5 and home by 6ish Sure we can meet somewhere in the middle If keen to make some arrangements let me know

Afternoon rides for me are out, only head home after 6 Prefer to get out early especially now that summer seems to have arrived Was thinking 6ish

Never done the spruit before - anyone keen to for a leisurely early morning spruit ride Saturday morning?

First ever 94.7 did a 3.50 on a mountain bike SO true about the N14 been a killer was on track for a 3.30 then the N14! Better time than I thought though! Well organized event

Dose anyone know of a good shop in the JHB area which has a wide stock offering of second hand road bikes Or any good online sites offering second hand bikes

Recently back on the bike, haven't been on a bike for years. Would be keen to come along, unfortunately sunday is out for me will be sure catch the next time around Am keen to meet up and tag along with some guys doing the spruit ride, believe it is quite fun and not 'tooo' hectic

Sounds interesting!! Keen for a 5am go on Friday morning?

Can anyone recommend a good early morning MTB ride in the Fourways/Douglasdale area?? +- 1 hour long

Thanks! There next week so will go look and see myself Any idea on the import duties?

I am thinking of buying a MTB out of China - got a friend there which has given me indicative prices and they are REALLY good on branded bikes. Has anyone bought a branded MTB out of China? Been given the prices on Gaint, Felt etc
