Marilyn, We are a group of people (mostly belong to my 4x4 club based in Centurion) who are all at different levels, and ride week nights (Haeia Safaris, Rosemary Hill, Kia Modderfontein) and over weekends (Same places, but also Northern Farms, Groenkloof etc.) and then any available 'race' - and its ladies, men & kids - from 10km, to the half marathons. Happy to put you on the distribution list. Son is a good motivator - 15, started last year, seeding at A level already, so he will get your son going... send me a PM, and I will put you on weekly 'newsletter & upcoming' activities email list...its a great sport!
