Bra B Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Keen to ride the spruit for the first time tomorrow morning. Can one park by Witkoppen, near The Bike Basement in the parking lot and get onto the spruit from there? How far can one ride without getting lost?(if it is possible to get lost on the spruit). Saw from previous threads a lot ride from Fratellis. Wouldn't know where to go from there? Mtblife 1
Vetseun Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I dont live there. Sorry, I think the DOWNHILDAS may be able to help. Enjoy Mate!
Loose cog Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Hi Bra B A lot of people park at the Cambridge Shopping Centre and then ride East along Witkoppen until the trail starts. You pick up the trail after you cross over the low water bridge. The Henley Management College is on your left as you head along the river towards Jhbg. Proceed under the freeway, look out for vagrants. Cross through the river on to the right hand side of the river and you will follow the path for a few miles. You can't really get lost. PM me and I will give you some alternative parking arrangement, etc. I live close by and can assist depending upon the time you plan to go riding.
Newboy Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Yes you can. You enter the spruit on the Bike Basement side. You will go under the N1 and then you will cross the spruit. There is a well ridden out path. The crossing is not very deep and if it does not rain tonight you can cross without getting your feet wet. From there you just follow the path and you will soon go under 12 th road. You can not get lost.
Guest Latent Blue Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 I was hoping that this thread included a steamy story of how two innocent MTBers met on a bend and had the time of their lives!Always disappointed

Loose cog Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Sorry mate, I am happily married. Just trying to help. The Spruit gets such a bad rap, being riding the Spruit without problems since the 80's.

Uni Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Virgin ride on the spruit tomorrow as well for me. Heading out with the #tourdejozi guys.
