BMX is perfect for Nixon's place.

 

It's on the Constantia Uitsig Wine Farm, on Spaanschemat River Road.

Thanks. Is there a cost involved or do we just rock up and let them have a ball of a time?

You can rock up anytime, it is R30 per person riding. I come very early so the track is empty, so my boys can ride with no traffic and they don't hold up the bigger boys and segment hunters

Not quite the same scenario, but, I tried teaching my sister who is in her early 20's to MTB last year, and we both were getting frustrated. I landed up sending her on a skills clinic which was the best thing I could have done.

It was much easier for somebody who is a pro to explain things to her and her riding significatly improved after those two days, whereas from my side, even though I was trying to be the 'supportive big brother' I was really thinking "just hurry the hell up and ride, damnit!"

I feel if you don't have the coaching skills, rather pay somebody else to do it.

Early twenties you say... hmm, looking for a riding buddy?

I take this is your way of asking if she's single?
