Blokman Posted January 16, 2017 Share That truck was there during December as well. I was there on Wednesday. I didn't look very hard ,but saw only baboons.What is worrying is that there seems to be a general lack of maintenance at the place. Simple things like spraying the weeds and grass that is breaking up the tar in places. But still the best road ride in Gauteng for my money.

Grey Hubs Posted January 16, 2017 Share 53km/h! 72km/h on the longer downhill straights Think I hit the "grass" over the bars at 45km/h. What a clown! Very lucky that day. Too busy watching my mate taking the corners and forgot go wide and swing in...Skinny tyres and braking in the corner is a BIG NO NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hugest I have seen..I see that is owned by Gauteng land and agriculture and not SANparks which may explain why it went to ruin.It looked good yesterday. Weeds and road maintenance will happen hopefully. Blokman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of broken branches and stones laying in the road as well. Blokman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusher Posted January 16, 2017 Share Is it quite safe during the week? Edited January 16, 2017 by Pusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokman Posted January 16, 2017 Share Is it quite safe during the week?Never had a problem, but I dont hang around too late. Out by about 16h00 to 16h30. Left it a bit late once in winter. The sun was setting and I could hear jackal calling. I Felt a bit like Little Red Ridinghood. I've not heard of any incidents. Only problem is falling ,or an injury all on your own.

Weeds galore, trees need trimming, and so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo111 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Rode Suikerbos yesterday, always an epic ride with good hills. A roadie had a massive fall on the first half (Apparently overcooked the corner). He was apparently injured very badly....any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baaisikilist Posted February 13, 2017 Share 53km/h! Myself and a mate share the KOM down that Bomber Downhill (I don't know how to say this, but I'm kind of a big deal). We averaged 52km/h for the segment, but hit a max of 77km/h.That tightish right hander needs a late entry and tight apex, and some confidence in your rubber. It has a hole right on the apex now, that messes with your mind, coz you cant see it till you're just about to drill it, flat out.

For someone of his tiny stature, he must carry so much corner speed to get a KOM on a downhill section. A few months back, I had to help a dude who crashed on that last bottom corner. Was a nasty wound to his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
