KidCharlemagne Posted May 2, 2017 Share Howzit Bru, Plenty of okes all over the place that time of year. I do mostly road and would be happy to see how fit you really are on a peninsula trip. "I have both and love both, really want to do both" I'm still a bit hazy on whether you really want to ride mountain and road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted May 2, 2017 Share Ha! To be fair you could probably ride the western cape with most of Gauteng over December.. But closer to the time you should be able to find plenty of willing and able locals to show you about. Most Cape Tonians probably have 24 December 'plans' but will wait for the last minute to commit as something better always pops up........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Drop me a PM when closer to the time .... December is like a gazillion years away from today. If you are residing in the Tygerberg trails area, then I would advise you get a "holiday" pass / membership ... this will allow you freedom to access trails via the members corridors, and you have no worries RE paying for each trails access.

Heard about the trail pass , where do I get it www.tygerbergmtb.co.za or something? Are the back roads safe? as in Vissershok & adderley etc ? maybe I should specify.Are they traffic safe-ish? or mugger-safe-ish?

Pure Savage Posted May 2, 2017 Share Pure Savage , is that an invite ? Yup, open invite we have for everybody. Tuesday and Thursday 5:45 at the Shell in Green point. Normally do the 50km in 1:45, which includes a quick coffee. Can check our twitter to ask about rides on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the back roads safe? as in Vissershok & adderley etc ? maybe I should specify.Are they traffic safe-ish? or mugger-safe-ish? Most of the Durbanville hills roads are well-travelled by cyclists to the extent where I can honestly not say when last I drove there and did not see at least one cyclist next to the road. The roads are winding, dual-direction, single lane and while most cars that travel there are accustomed to seeing and catering for cyclists next to that road, one can never be too careful. If I was travelling there I would do so with flashing lights front and back regardless of the time of day to make myself as visible as possible. As for mugging, this is pretty unlikely in the Durbanville hills area. I can't recall hearing of any incidents. Then again I've only been cycling for like a month haha But, we are constantly riding those roads with our Harley riding club and I don't see a whole lot of pedestrians doing their thing out there. It's pretty calm. Anyhoo, if I don't see you on the trail, have a blast when you're here! I'm also from Centurion Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
