Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 What time do you get on the road? I am looking to commute from Plumstead through to Paarden Eiland. Perhaps we can ride a section together.Unfortunately, my commutes are limited to school holidays. I drop the lightie off in the mornings... mtgoat 1
Hairy Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 My solution for avoiding the BRT as it goes under the N1, using my mtb of course Paarden Eiland BRT Detour.jpgNow when you approach the top of the bridge, cross over the road to the right hand side barrier, climb over and enjoy a fun little drop down to the grass .... a little fun woop woop moment if you will.
Tree8man Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 My solution for avoiding the BRT as it goes under the N1, using my mtb of course Paarden Eiland BRT Detour.jpgTo get back from Century City to Plumstead/Wynberg in the afternoons I go over the pedestrian bridge at Century City Station & Old Mutual in Pinelands then through back end of Pinelands and choose one of many ways to get to Plumstead. In the mornings I would go through to Woodstock and N1 to Marine drive cycle lane. Still have to plan when I get back to commuting again.

Left side also has a fun little drop down Hairy 1

bj horn Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 A nice 9kg bike is a pleasure to commute on,except when the South Easter is pumping under the CT Civic Centre and you get blown all over the place.Missed my 16kg tank this morning.

Velouria Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I must have put my invisibility cloak on this morning by accident - I was completely invisible to cars, taxis and pedestrians. One of those days where it felt like there was a contract out on me! DJR, SilverRider, Lurch the stalker and 3 others 6

Or your definition of fun is warped!

Velouria Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 have you noticed that when the weather is "off" ... windy, rainy, etc then one always wears an invisibility cloakWhich made this morning's ride in sunshine with blue skies all the more odder. It was windy, but not "blowing old ladies over" windy... Hairy 1
