Riding at Suikerbosrand?

[Grey Hubs]

My PB is 2:53, shame full if you look at strava.

And then you get the folk who do 2 laps... one day, perhaps before the end of the year...

dude that's a fairly respectable time on a fs 29r.

I used to ride my rigid ht 29r there. Avg time I think was about 2:50ish

 

Only just broken 2:30 (on my road bike) 2 weeks ago... But was proper f@rked after. And swore I wouldn't go back again....but then I always say it. Few weeks later,same old same old.

 

There are some proper fast times round there, it makes the mind boggle.

ha ha I had that idea a few weeks ago untill I got to the far gate and knew there was not a hope in hell of doing a 2nd lap. Got a long way to go before I am there . The thought of doing the last climb the 2nd time around is just to much. At this point anyway ????

First time i rode SBR i suffered from cramps and couldn't finish that last big climb. Second time round i managed to finish but still have a lot of room for improvement. Next goal is to do a sub 3 hour , i know its going to hurt

Absolutely love SBR,sufferfest of note,especially at the beginning and the end with those 2xkiller climbs. This is currently my best time on a 29" duel susser.

And the guys who cycle there , do a lap or 2 and then cycle back . When i'm finished with 1 lap the last thing i would want to do is still ride home.

Will attempt the double before the end of this year

On a MTB that's SERIOUS!

[NGUTF]

Done the loop a few times - great training and very safe as far as traffic is concerned.

Does anybody know if there is some MTB trails in the reserve

 There used to be a MTB trail a few years back I think but it wasn't maintained / a focus of theirs as far as I know. At the moment id say that there aren't any MTB trails. Stand to be corrected?

on a lighter note, I found the little fellow basking in the sun, the last time.

Riding there on Sat I thought i saw a pool of blood in the middle of the road crossing one of the bridges. I hope is was someones energy drink...

Probably not. Bleeding from the eyes......

 

Or if it was someone's energy drink, it had been partially digested?

I am so glad I am not the only one that suffers @SBR
