Saw a certain pretty pink pyga at the Trail Head this morning. You would have sworn I had just seen Angelina Jolie I was so nervous/excited.

 

I get to see peoples reactions to it everyday :lol:

Can one drop into The Spruit from the bottom of Peter Place Road? I'll be heading down Peter Place and planning on turning right onto William Nicol and dropping into The Spruit by the Pick 'n Pay. Google Earth looks like I can but not sure if there's a fence. *Sorry for the high jack.

Yup, you can drop in at the dead end on Peter Place.

 

There is a fence, it used to have a gate, but we rode through there the other day, and now there's a huge opening in the fence.

Great video. I ride the spruit but you guys are clearly on a different level. I have a lot to learn......suddenly feels like I am the lycra clad old man going at sub 10 km/h.........thanks for the inspiration.

Brilliant vid, guys! Looks like a lekker place to have a trundle!

But but... the Spruit is the most boring trail in existence. Has no technical features whatsoever.

 

90% of the clip was filmed within a 3km radius of the Trailhead. The other bit in Emmerentia is 6kms away.

+1000 on the awesome vid. Love it.

 

I am ashamed to admit I have never ridden there myself even though I stay in Jozy. Is a problem when you ride by yourself. I heard you should only travel in packs of 2+ when going there.

 

Is that still true?

 

Na, I ride around these sections mostly alone. The thing I fear most is falling and hurting myself and not being able to contact someone or getting help.

Did some of the Spruit and Emmarentia area for the first time on Sunday. Was great but busy! dogs, cats, fishermen, walkers, kids, dogs, kids, dogs. Note to self: get a bike bell for rides like this! Had an awesome ride though.

 

Did I mention dogs?
