I have just moved to Milnerton and I'm looking to join an early morning group ride possibly from Milnerton to town and back, either road or Mtn bikes leaving around 5.30am and back by 7.30ish?

 

 

Let me know if this is possible?

 

Regards,

Gavin

Hi can anybody assist me please, I am a novice mtb rider with more road cycling experience rather than mtb cycling, but stay close to kloofnek and need to get into this mtb, seeing that we have the whole table mountain on our doorstep, but I am not sure whether a group ride will suit me right now as I might hold them back? Any suggestions as a beginner in this?

 

Thanks

I think it is very unlikely the usual car break-in suspects will be up that early, but if you feel the least bit unsafe, why not park on campus at UCT where there are several 24 hour guards and security cameras?.When varcity starts, that will be problematic, especially later in the morning.

I agree with DJR.

 

When the UCT students return, the parking lot at the gate to Rhodes Mem starts filling up around 7am (if I recall correctly), and a security guard usually appears later in the morning. Out of term, there are usually a lot of people coming in and out of the Rhodes gate anyway. I've seen runners park their cars there before heading off. I'd say it's as safe as any parking lot.

 

What I would be more concerned about is returning to your car after the ride, if you do intend on riding back, which I do on the odd occasion that I join this group ride. The mountain can be deserted around 10 am, especially after the Block House intersection heading towards Rhodes Mem, which is known as a crime hotspot.

I suggest you join the Tuesday or Wednesday morning ride to gauge your fitness. Those are both pretty relaxed and you can see where you slot in.

Or, switch on your Strava and ride the Mountain Goat TT. I'll check your time and tell you how fit you are (-;

Hi Kundai

 

Did you just respond via email to me?

 

I have Strava on my phone, how do I find the Mountain Goat TT on Strava?

So some guy's dog attacked me on the mountain yesterday. It bit my leg, but not too badly. But it punctured my tyre on the side wall beyond repair. The guy said he wanted to replace it for me, but changed his mind when I said it was R600.

 

If you see a dog heading for you, kick it in the head, before it bites you or your bike. That's what I will be doing.
