I have been riding the Spruit on and off for the last 4 years and have never yet had a bad experience.

I'd like to take this time to thank all the other riders of the Spruit simply for being awesome.

 

This past Sunday i finally managed to convince a friend of mine to start riding. He was both a bike and a Spruit virgin and was understandably nervous and a bit shy. While we only managed a mere 9 km, it was one of the coolest rides I've had in a while. Everyone on the Spruit was super friendly and even got off the path for the newbie to be able to continue unhindered. This was ideal as he was able to build a bit more confidence as we went further into the unknown.

 

Spruit riders. You truly are legends and made the whole experience awesome for my virgin. He has vowed to be back next week.

Keep them smiles coming.

Saffer - Out

Hey Sir. I too live in Olivedale. I shoot straight down jacaranda, onto I think its Cumberland, then right into what ever the road is that goes towards Sandton Clinic. Left into Bryanston Drive and all the way to the Spruit. Hit it from there to Emmerentia. Join me one weekend it would be awesome. Just remember my Virgin cant do the full distance as yet.

I love this ride. I'm in Rivonia so it's a couple km to the 12th ave bridge, and then it's just happiness all the way up.

Will do. Im a little ways down from you in Bromhof but should still be straight forward enough to do from there.

Even Maybe meet at my place? there are about 5 of us (all complete novices) that meet up almost every weekend. but this might change as i'm moving to Northern farms area @ the end of the month.

No problem. Will definitely join you guys for a ride.

 

You are welcome to join the NF groups on weekends if you want. Saturday is a bit on the full side but Sunday should still have some space.

Or we could set up our OWN ride, that just follows you okes from about 50 metres back. We'll hide behind rocks and stuff. ;)

That's awesome - I need to do that. Or do the class gymnastics thing, but just outside the window, looking in.

 

Extra points if there's still space in the class.

That would be EPIC and funny. I'd even pay to see one of you clowns in your full cycle kit outside a gym window showing off your yoga moves.... Just remember the long socks.
