Northern Farm - open 26th Dec to 6th Jan . . .

[Bonus]

Was at the Farm this weekend - looks like they will be open from Boxing day right through to the 6th Jan :-)

 

 

Anyone fancy an early morning ride? 40km or so at around 20km/h?

 

I generally make up my own route although they have several new routes marked out now.

Is NF ok to go it alone during the week as I assume it will be quiter then. Especially as a female?

[Bonus]

I wouldn't like to say. This was my first weekend in months. Not sure about recent history.

 

That's one of the reasons I posted on here - I'd rather not ride alone :-)

[Uni]

If there was any chance I could keep up I'd join you but still have a way to go.

Enjoy it.

Pm me if you like to take a ride also not keen to go alone and not all that fast

[Bonus]

It doesn't have to be fast - just be good not to be solo :-)

When you planning on riding ? Im keen.

[Pusher]

I'm keen as well depending on the date!

[flat29]

i am also keen. put the date and time on here so that we know

[Bonus]

I'm gonna ride at 7am on Thurs 26th and again early on Sat and Sun (assumng it isn't raining).

Friday night is the Critical Mass ride.

 

I would imagine the farm will be averagely busy - so no problem there.

 

However I also would like to ride next week during the week - and that's when it might be a bit quiet and I'll be looking for company. Any day except New Years day - when it's predicted that I will be a little bit under the weather :-)

 

Speed and length of ride can depend on who wants to do what but I won't be ultra fast whatever the case.

I would say yes. I mostly ride there alone, because it's where I ride when my normal riding buddies can't make the ride. But to be 100% (or should I make that 99%!) safe I would possibly avoid the lower river section and the far north west bit, but having said that, I have not heard of any problems occuring there recently.

But if you're interested, I will be riding there a couple of times over the next week to 10 days if you want to link up. I ride 40kms at 16kms average.

As Bonus says, it will mostly have a few other riders out there, but don't bank on that, I have been on rides when I've seen nobody!

I think a boxing day early morning ride is definitely on the cards now!!

I've seen almost nobody when the car park is full! How does that work? lol

 

26th at 7am will be a comfortable speed ride. I'm trying to get some Critical Mass riders who don't normally get the chance to go "off road" to come along . . .

 

Of course if comfortable speed is too slow for you, try doing every climb twice . . . :-)

One man's comfortable speed is another unfit noob's OMG.

I'll go through for an amble and check out the terrain though.

I have a list of places I want to check out.

I have also often seen the carpark full and nearly no one on the ride! I have no idea how that works....

 

On 27th I'm either going to ride Spruit or N Farm and then definitely N Farm on Sunday 28th, so maybe will connect on Thursday. How many kms do you ride?
