stellasquido Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Hey there! I'm a "beginner" mtb chick who wants to ride more often. I don't feel safe riding alone and was wondering if there is an existing group who do regular weekend MTB rides in the wider Cpt area? Or maybe, if there's enough interest, we can get such a group together. I'm not very fast, but love technical riding and would like to improve on both. Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?Hi, and a warm welcome to the hub How fit are you at the moment and where are you based?
Desi Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Stellasquido. Where are you based? Now that the argus is over, we will be doing some mtb rides on the weekends. Sometimes just hubby and me; sometimes some others will join us. Happy to have beginner / social riders with us; we are not race snakes. Not doing anything this weekend, though.
stellasquido Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Hi! Thanks for the responses. I'm not super fit - I finished the Argus with one road-training ride in 5h16. I'm in the CBD, but enjoy venturing out to the Northern and Southern Suburbs on weekends for mtb rides. We can look at possible rides over the long weekend, however, I understand that people may be going away. If you are free, maybe we can schedule a ride for the Friday (which is the public holiday).

You are more then welcome to come join us on a Saturday morning out in the Durbanville Hills, I ride with a small group of mates that are not too fit yet, and are all pretty much noobies. Otherwise there is also the night rides at Meerendal or Hoogies that are well organised. If you ever keen for a partner for a road ride, give me a shout sometime.
Thomo Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 http://www.thehubsa....eninsula-rides/ Keep an eye on this thread too for road rides. I'll dust off my mtb too.
Tubehunter Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 There's also this to consider for Wednesday mornings and you could probably cycle to there and home after.... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/102368-table-mountain-morning-ride/ Welcome to the hub!
