Pete the Pirate Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Hi guys, the wife and I are getting back into cycling and I'm keen to take out membership and train here a few days a week from around 5:30 - 7:00 or so. Would this be a problem with management? More importantly, is the place secure enough for the 2 of us to ride there at this time?Thanks Hi guys, the wife and I are getting back into cycling and I'm keen to take out membership and train here a few days a week from around 5:30 - 7:00 or so.

scotty Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I see they've cut a peacock run to go around the 2nd log obstacle.
Big Ray Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I see they've cut a peacock run to go around the 2nd log obstacle. I took that today almost as much fun as the logs.
svm3000 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 Race is getting closer don't forget to go online and enter http://www.bikeabout.co.za/
Pete the Pirate Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 The Benoni Country Club is proud to present its first ever cycle race. The ride will take place on a lap format. Individuals and/or teams of two or four are eligible for entry. No children under the age of 12 years old are allowed to race. Online entries at www.bikeabout.co.za. We will take late entries on the day up until 16h00, but please enter early. The lap is an easy 8.1km loop consisting of mainly jeep track interspersed with some forest single track. The single track will be cut wide to make passing very easy and to allow both beginners and racing cyclists to ride together in peace and harmony. All technical sections have been avoided for the race. We encourage competitors to bring the whole family along to cheer and support all cyclists young and old, fast and slow, while enjoying the wonderful facilities at the club. If you feel that the time and combined distance is too long and far, please enter and cycle one or two or even three slow easy laps during the evening. Take a long rest between laps in the company of Mr Charles Glass J. The aim of the evening is to promote the facilities at the club by creating an event for EVERYONE to enjoy. Furthermore, proceeds will be utilised to further develop and enhance this already wonderful cycling trail facility. Your entry fee will give you entrance to cycle the race plus a goodie bag containing a beautiful screen-printed long sleeve technical shirt celebrating the event plus giveaways of the sponsors products. The goodie bag alone is almost worth the cost of entry. Free nutrition from FIT Nutrition will be available to all competitors as well as free coffee all night long. Arrow Stationers have also arranged digital cameras and computer printers as lucky draw giveaways to participants. Thank you for your support – we look forward to seeing you on the 9th of April 2016.

Big Ray Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Lot of trail is cleared, but large tree has fallen across the trail. If you're talking about the tree in the 3rd red sections, we were there today, it's been cleared, didn't see any other fallen trees today.
