MTBc Posted June 21, 2013 Share Thinking of doing a mid week night ride around the Cradle. Has anyone been doing this, and if so, are there any issues to be aware of ? I ride there once a week or so (R512 / Harties side). Stay about 10km past Lanseria, and sometimes get home 8 from broadacres side, or sometimes ride out through Broederstroom (over the pass by Nikita) and along the river up the mountain and around the back of the wimpy. home by 10. Some awesome single track needs decent lighting, but mostly jeep track. If you're that side of the cradle and keen for a ride, I'll let you know the next time I do one. *edit* it's MTB Edited June 21, 2013 by Captain Cheesy RocknRolla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 21, 2013 Share have done this route as well. (in daytime tho) Do you ride the singletrack next to the R512? and then a left at nikita over the pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBc Posted June 21, 2013 Share have done this route as well. (in daytime tho) Do you ride the singletrack next to the R512? and then a left at nikita over the pass? Yup, that's the route. I skip the last 1km of single track before Nikita though. riding that during the day is challenging enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 21, 2013 Share Yup, that's the route. I skip the last 1km of single track before Nikita though. riding that during the day is challenging enough! 'strue, need LOTS of suspension travel for some of those drop-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
