Riding the spruit

[DR ◣◢]

Early ride on Saturday remember.

excuse any repetitions in this thread, i was too lazy to read the whole thing. From what I've heard, the northern section of spruit isn't safe, but I've ridden from the blairgowrie point (corner conrad / Jan Smuts) through to greenside without issues in the week afternoon and weekend mornings, there's a lot of people around, but I would be back before 6 / 6:30 if possible.

 

Make sure to find that big rock on the way back and drop off it my mates directed me down there on my first ride a few months ago, and I sh** myself, but now its almost routine

It all depends.

We usually go in groups, and were vigilant.

 

Yep, that rock is sweet, try it at night, even better.

anyone actually know someone that bailed on this rock? it might look intimidating at first but it is really really easy IMO. must be the 29er

I can't ride tonight guys. I have a sick girl at home and I'm trying to stuff as much maths knowledge into an already stuffed head.

which rock?

 

Coming back from Rustenburg/1st Ave/Barry Hedgehog crossing - about half way between there and the bottom of Delta there is a rock that is probably 3.5m high with a 45 degree slope.

 

It used to be more difficult until someone cut the bushes back about 8 years ago. Then it was scary because you weren't able to pick your line and I was a novice......
