training lido route

[virunga]

Any one know of any groups cycling in the south this weekend ?

[Guest colonel]

Is it safe to cycle in the South??

[Footloose]

Just as safe as it is to cycle in the North (ala - hold ups on Witkoppen)

[IanC]

There is a "funride" from the circus Sunday morning. Organized by the Eskom club and the Wheelers will join.

virunqa, If you want to join be at the Circus at 7:30 Sunday morning.

A huge group of people meet at the corner of Swartkoppies & Klipriver road (Xumbug corner, as most refer to as) both Saturday and Sunday mornings and leave at 7:00.  Different smaller groups then quickly form, based on different fitness levels and so on.  Distances can vary from 50km to 150km, so make sure you are riding with the right guys (just ask around who is doing what).  Everyone tends to be very friendly. 

 

Just like elsewhere in Joburg, rather not ride alone, especially on the Lido route going out towards the cow-farm, as that is where most the "hold-ups" occur.

 

Enjoy the riding!
