Speed Devil Posted July 24, 2012 Share I presume you've contacted the various clubs around Gauteng? Most of them have pretty set routes that they use often. For example: http://www.crestawhe...a/ClubRides.htm Yes we know that a lot of clubs have set routes. On the other hand a lot of people don't belong to a club, but would like to find a route where they can join up with other cyclists and ride in safety and in a relatively controlled environment.

Speed Devil Posted July 24, 2012 Share How about a route from Greenstone side through Edenvale to Bedfordview? Thanks Wez-O If you have done this route before or know it, please plot the route as we don't all know the roads in the different areas. From a logistics point for cyclists and marshalls, we prefer that routes start and finish at the same point.

Kallie. Posted July 24, 2012 Share Myself and a few mates would gladly join if there is anything leaving from the Benoni / Boksburg area. We normally latch onto the Bedford bunch on North Rand Rd on saturday mornings and TRY to keep up but that doesn't normally last too long and we get dropped on Pomona... but we keep trying...

Sorry mate, but we all have full time jobs and morning rides will be impossible to arrange. We are hoping to arrange these rides on Sundays.

Speed Devil Posted July 24, 2012 Share What distance would you guys be looking at? It depends on you guys, but probably anything between 60 and 100km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracs Posted July 24, 2012 Share I live in Kyalami and generally will travel by car to the cradle for either club or ride with mates. Roads around my area not very cyclist firendly but if there was a marshalled ride I would def. join on a Sunday... So anything starting and finishing in Sunninghill/Kyalami/Woodmead would be good for me and I think many others. No real opinion on the best route from there could go north, west or south I guess depending on whats best traffic and road wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
