Eldron Posted August 4, 2014 Share ye, 2 laps round SBR would do that. G +1 on SBR - best 60km ride in Jhb. No taxis, no cars, no robots, no flats - just miles and miles of a rolling tar ribbon. Fantastic! Zatek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted August 4, 2014 Share Nice hill area, won't mind them cutting a MTB route or 2 round there. G +1 on SBR - best 60km ride in Jhb.

awesme Posted August 4, 2014 Share In the visitor parking area... Nice tree/shade and just out of the parking area is the "warm up hill, aka killer of 4km of straight climb". G Where is a good place to park and start riding SBR from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycleshark Posted August 4, 2014 Share Take the Sattelite route to Harties and back, and do an extra stretch through the cradle... Works well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted August 4, 2014 Share hehehe and I'm prob a bit cheeky there Pay at gates, go through gate, keep going straight till you get a TJunction, turn left into parking area, Park. Go back how you came in, at the T junction (where you turned left) just past it, to the right you will see a road to the left, going UP ...

rudi-h Posted August 4, 2014 Share it doesn't exist The cradle and suikerbosrand are the only two safe road routes in JHB. If you ride MTB there are some more options, but not quite if you want to do 4+ hour rides without riding in circles. Many clubs have routes that are longer, but IMO it's not safe with all of these routes having some busy sections and dodgy crossings here and there.

Falco Posted August 4, 2014 Share Try a few loops of Suikerbosrand?never been there so have no clue. Two laps of SBR for someone who has never been there is going to be a baptism of fire. Be prepared for some pain. Serious pain. Spinnekop and Zatek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
