Big JD Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 There is one that leaves from the Steynsrust Bridge in Somerset West at 18:00 on Tuesday nights.
Tankman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Cool, where do they ride?contact person? Ill go and check it out tomorrow night. But I am still keen to do a night ride in Stellenbosch.My office is in technopark so I am keen to ride in Parradyskloof Coetzenburg etc after workProbably for around 1 and a half to two hours. I did a night ride there last week and realized I would be f@!*ed if something happened to me all on my own in the dark, so just looking for some company! Doesnt have to be a regular thing (awesome if it turns out that way ) but for now just want to get some guys together for a ride.

Tankman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 You kitted out with lights Berry? There are no street lights in Coetzenberg You are welcome to join, gives you a chance to explore places you probably havent ridden before, even if you have, riding them at night never looks or feel the same!
Big JD Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 It's a fairly skilled group but pretty laid back. I think they normally ride on the R44 to Eden. Climb to the top and then do most of the singletrack and G-Spot. Lights are definitely required. Not too sure who the organiser is but all are welcome.
SlowSpoke Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I will join you in a week or two. I just need to recover after the Epic.

Tankman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 my light is the one i do road riding in the morning do i need something bigger If it is one of those flashy single led lights that is there just to warn motorist that you are on the road ... then yes you need something bigger. We are talking night ride here ... not before it gets dark ride

We are talking night ride here ... not before it gets dark ride no its a light for me to see ,4 in the morning it is dark, but let me go and see what i can get then i dont have to switch every day
Tankman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) If it serves you at 4am, I am sure it will be good enough at night. Dont worry about getting a new light just yet .. I have a backup light that you can use if yours is not bright enough. You just dont want to be guessing if what you are seeing is a rock, a shadow or a moerse gat when going downhill at 50km/h. Sometimes you cant do anything but guess, but you want to eliminate the guess work as much as possible Edited April 4, 2011 by Tankman

Tankman Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Possibly Thursday otherwise next week ... lets see if there are any more interest. Funnily enough I had the Engen in mind as the meeting spot!
