MTB Group rides - CT City Bowl

[gerhardsnorbaard]

Hi all

 

I am still looking for a weekly MTB riding group of some sorts in Cape Town City Bowl or surrounds. 

 

Will latch on to anything, fast or slow, as long as I can ride with others and not only on my Pieter Dirk Ace. My working hours are flexible.

 

Entered two gravel grinders for the year, so have something concrete to work towards (50 miler and K2C).

Hi guys, I'm keen, too. 

Table Mountain / Kirstenbosch / Tokai are favourite areas on week days & week-ends. Can be slower of faster - I'm easy on that. Just sad and unsafe riding out there alone.

Bootleggers is a fav place for a coffee stop

My work hours are flexible but have to be in the office between 10 and 3, taking my bike with if going to ride.

People of the hub

 

Myself and Kate and potentially 1-2 others will do a chilled ride on Thursday morning (13 Apr) - from Virgin Active Wembley Square to the Blockhouse and back. Reasonable pace. 

 

Meet at 6h30 sharp. 

 

You are welcome to message me, otherwise respond to this thread, or just be there.

Hey there Catty

 

Are you still looking for riding buddies? I've been out of action for about 2 months, but also looking for a group in the CBD area, or someone who would be keen to ride on weekends.

Do you guys have a WhatsApp group to arrange rides around Table Mountain?

Im also keen to join up, the trails around lions head are quite fun, and there's a mini enduro run in the glen down into camps bay

 

Another cool route is vredehoek to constantia neck and back (above kirstenbosch)

Hi, I live in Hout bay and ride Tablemountain and Cecilia, Kirstenbosh, Newlands and UCT a couple of times a week. I am retired so can ride anytime. Always looking for company.

PM me please if you are looking for company.

PM me please if you are looking for company.

Then you are the perfect guy to create a table mountain MtB cycling group. I'm sure there are many keen riders.

Haha, passing the buck. Yes, I will set up a Whatsapp group so send me a PM with your cell number and location so that I can get an idea where everyone lives.

I am doing Ride2Nowehere next week so will schedule first ride for the week after.

Hi guys

 

I also work in town, but I don't have flexibility during the day. I am close to Wembley Square.

 

I would be keen to join for a ride maybe once a week around 5pm.

Weekend rides are easier though and would love to join a group and get to know the Table Mountain trails a bit better.

 

Please add me to the Whatsapp group.

Okay, I have created a Whatsapp group called TM MTB riders and I have added Johan so far.  I tend to ride in mornings from around 7:30 onwards and mostly ride to UCT via Constantia nek, Cecilia forest, Newlands and sometimes the greenbelt through Constantia. I also ride up to Noordhoek Peak via Chappies, ou wa Pad, and Silvermine fairly often but usually on the weekend so I can come back home via Tokia trails and the Greenbelt to Constantia Nek.

I try to do a loop around the mountain once a week which means I carry on riding from UCT up Plumb Pudding and back along one of the routes below Table Mountain.

But I am flexible and more than happy to arrange different rides (and times) depending on the interest.

If you are keen to join me on any of these rides then send me your mobile number (PM me) and I will add you to the group.

Why dont you guys join Tablemountainbikers (www.tablemountainbikers.co.za).  The whatsapp group has over a hundred members on and is very active.  There are standing morning and night rides on Table Mountain, as well as ad-hoc rides being organized over weekends, etc.
