100km MTB route from Pretoria East???


Squier

Recommended Posts

I ride from the cnr of H/S and Lynnwood most Tuesdays and Thursdays but am looking for some longer rides to do over Dec with base training in mind.

 

Let me know if anyone is interested, maybe we can hook up over the weekend / after the 15th in the morning.

 

I'm keen.

Regarding safety.

 

I ride out on the dirt roads around Baps, and have never felt threatened. (Talk about tempting fate!)

 

However, I've ridden the railway line roads around there, and although nothing has ever happened, there have been times when I've ridden past groups of locals walking along the railways and my heart has been in my mouth. They are just so hidden, normally being in cuttings etc.

 

However, common sense says that ambushers are more likely to be close to a settlement, and on known mtb/cycling training routes. Unless of course, railway roads are 'known training routes'.

I am also keen as this would allow be to accumulate excellent base km's for Sani2C. have never ridden further than 65km's so this would also challenge and push me. :thumbup:

If you are willing to tolerate a 18 to 20 km/h avg speed then you can count me and REDFOXX in. We are just going to Mankele from the 16th to the 18th (sorry, just had to get that in. Whoop whoop), so anytime after that is fine

We are planning another 140km ride next Sunday (22 January) with back-up vehicle support. Easy pace with a coffee stop at around 65km's
