W1Z@RD Posted September 21, 2012 Share Hi guys, Keen to extend my Spruit ride. Currently I ride from Bryanston but would like to start from Witkoppen all the way to Emmerentia Is it possible to ride all the way from there? Or do you have to get off Spruit and back on?

beanz Posted September 21, 2012 Share The easiest thing to do is to cross over William Nicol and go a few blocks up republic road and join the spruit from there.Or you can cross over William Nicol and get back on the spruit directly across the road, but then you've got a river portage.

Robodog Posted September 21, 2012 Share I'm a bit confused. Do you currently ride from Bryanston to Emmerentia? Because Bryanston down the Spruit to Witkoppen is trail all the way along the river and through the river at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted September 21, 2012 Share Its possible to Spruit all the way from M&B to Emmarentia and back. 40km in total. Love doing it. W1Z@RD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclocross Posted September 21, 2012 Share It's a few years since I became a Durbanistani again, but I recall from my years on the Spruit that you accessed it next to the Cape Dutch style office park (buildings were yellow) just over the river down Witkoppen from the M&B. Brave folk used to ride from Centurion side through to Emmerentia too. Pavement stretch from William Nicol along Replublic was preferable to muddy option.
