GroenHoender Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Hello all,I have recently started riding MTB again (after a long hiatus of about 10 years). Since I am hearing-impaired, and have average fitness (spending about 2 or 3 days in gym, and planning to spend the other alternative days on a MTB outdoors), I am looking for MTB bikers who are willing to take me along, for motivation as well as group support. I could ride out alone on my own (lots of tar / dirt / gravel roads in / around Stellenbosch) but prefer not to do so, for safety reasons. Would like to slowly and gradually work my way up in MTB. Any takers out there, or any groups in Stellenbosch?Like ThisReplyMultiQuote
@ndy Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Next time I'm in the Bosch I'll give you a shout. But I don't ride there so often. Welcome back.

Eden and G-spot (mostly), Jonkers, Wannabee black route. Give me a tinkle.

My mail address is: thesportsdepartment@gmail.com I ride on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays and Saturdays preferably?
Cassie Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Keep it going, guys /gals!All I can say is...this is how cyclings groups /clubs start! By a few interested / passionate individuals...
SuikerBossie Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I want to do Jonkers on Sat morning at 7.30 - medium rider. Any takers - dont want to ride on my own...
gwhite Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone keen for a ride in Jonkers tomorrow? Still waiting to confirm a time but will be later in the morning/day.
Loupie Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I live in Stellenbosch and I'll probably be riding Jonkers on Saturday (I do most Saturdays). PM me if you're interested...Suikerbossie, you're on for Saturday. Me and a mate are going. He's a beginner so pace will probably be slow. Then again, who rides Jonkers to race? Just need to be back home before DH WC starts!
LittleMonster Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Hi Guys and Gals, there is a night ride group which rides every Thursday evening from 6pm up in Jonkers....some of these guys and guys are pretty good riders, so I wanted to find out if anyone was perhaps keep to ride "for the fun of it," and for more of a social ride rather than an actual training session ride, but in the form of a night ride as well....ie. do the circle route and this bunch can meet perhaps at around 6:30pm rather and then we might finish at around the same time as the more serious riders who start at 6pm?
GroenHoender Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 Any group rides in Stellenbosch yet? I know BMT used to have some mornings... From what I have heard, "Mason's Bike Inn" (in centre of Eikestad Mall complex) occassionally organise a bike group ride but I have not yet got around to confirm it or not.
GroenHoender Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 The maties club does rides, check out their FB page Could you please tell us what the name of the FB group is?Also, are they for serious bikers, or beginners like some of us (including me)? ;-)
