Slow afternoon spruit ride - 21 Nov 2012

[RockCoach]

 

 

I was there riding in the rain on saturday (approx 11:30am)... had a look at the river crossing. Wasn't keen for stinky spruit water soaked shoes. But there is another way through hurlingham. I used that one!

 

There are two others ways and they both boring.

 

The river was flowing so fast it was relativel clear. Wuss

To all the Paulshof people who want to join, I'm leaving around 15:35 from the Witkoppen around Mugg and Bean area.

Straight to Fratellis to meet the group coming our way.

 

So who is in for this afternoon's ride?? and from which spots?

4.15 at Fratellis is good for me then we can maybe meet the Paulshoff guys at M&B or 12th Ave by 5.30.

We can either go up the power lines to Republic or over the river crossing by William Nichol to P&Pay, then along the Spruit to Riverside shops and on to 12th Ave and wait there or head up the road and over the N1 to Paulshoff M&B?

My regular partner is abandoning me for something he calls "leave" soon, and I'd hate to let my "Spruit Warriordom" lapse during this time.

 

How often is this ride going to be taking place?

[dino]

7 kms there, 40kms ride, 7kms home, that's a good 55 kms... on a Monday!

 

Do I need lights or will we be back before dark.
