If you look at the results on Strava, this is not a ride for average Joe's

Like fabs said, you have to be pretty strong to stick with the main bunch, Tuesday they where averaging close on 34km/h (at least for the 20min I managed to hang on). But having said that, I usually go at my own pace and there are plenty of other people doing it by themselves or in small groups, it's just a matter of learning the route which has quite a couple of turns in it. Best is to find someone to go with the first couple of times or see if you can to join someone along the way.

 

And watch out for the Putco busses on Oxford as well as the lights coming down the hill on Sandton Drive!

Here's one version, after wicklow there are a couple of different options and I think it varies sometimes? Start is on top, cnr William Nicol and Main

Shew 34km/h, definitely not strong enough for that yet.

Will join next week and hope for the best.

Can anyone post a garmin link, then I will just follow it on my garmin

HI I am in the Randburg area and am aware of the Engen2Engen group Rides in the mornings and would join up at Northcliff corner, anyone  know what time the group or groups may pass or meet up there, or perhaps of any other group rides in the morning? rather be safe than sorry

 

Thanks
