Check for the DOC.

I am riding with them. They are the biggest group in the area.

They are riding in the morning, and sunday, and cater for all skill levels.

E.G. tomorrow there is a 90km/70km and 35km.

The 90/70 are fast though,18km/h ave.

Are there any group rides?

The DOC MB club ride every Saterday and Sunday from Rietvlei. And on Wednesday nights they have their night rides. Any M-Biker welcome. Nice group of +/- 30 riders at any time. Start around 06h00 on Saterdays and Sundays. Just pitch up, ask for Mark and enjoy.

Oh and BTW, I dunno what the race route will look like.

We rode it last weekend, MUD, MUD, MUD.

We thought this week would dry it up, but I live not far from there, and it's raining currently.

Wish this rain would give us a gap......

30 that's a big group, funny how I would have missed them.

No need to apologies. Just join them for like minded fun rides.

Doesn't this area belong to Rand Water Board. Perhaps their security patrols can keep a lookout for these shitheads. I have stopped riding here because of a few close shaves but I am not sure if it is the same lot. Fortunately there are some quad bikes and off-road bikes riding there as well which has been my saving grace a few times.

OK have confirmation from a credible source that there were incidents Saturday and today. All involved the panga boys up by the abandoned house area :(

That's good to know as it doesnt take out the whole area for riding. Also it looks like they are over-cooking things to the point that the police might even do something.

Correct me if I am wrong, there are two locations that are currently hot spots. 1st is klipriver and second wich I have mentioned is swartkoppies. Keep your eyes open for both.

I've ridden with the DOC guys several times, very organised and a great bunch of people. Look up DOC on Facebook too.....safety in numbers until these pricks can be weeded out!!!
