Definitely join Velo, however I think this weekeend's ride is around the 110km mark. I'll be joining in for the first bit on the gravel bike, then shooting off on my own.

 

Edit: Alternatively I could go out on the road bike and we could cut the route short to be around the 65km mark, I'm sure the group will also splinter at that point. PM if you're keen.

here's a nice route. Go out in Garsfontein rd (direction east), turn left in the bapsfontein/ Bronkhorstspruit rd. Go past Lynnwood and the very next road (Cullinan) turn left. Turn left again in the Boschkop road (first road where you can turn left). Turn right in Lynnwood and then left in Solomon Mahlango.

 

Wherever you'll start in the east, this should be around 70km.

 

you are welcome to pm me if you want more details.

OP, bring the mountain bike as well and come and do the Nissan Trailseeker Marathon race at the Cow House.

Velo yes.

 

I would do this route:  https://www.strava.com/activities/1190867441

 

Otherwise out Delmas road (Think it's the R50??), Left R25 Kempton park road and then Left on Lynnwood road.

Should be around 70/80km.

Hi,

 

You never know maybe he will be pulling A along and can start with A.

 

But yes Last week group A did 37km/h avg for the same route of 110km so if you think you will not be able to keep up do the B group.

 

You will be able to turn left for the 70 km route when we reach the 30 km mark as well.

I'll be there on the gravel bike, starting in B. Will see how the legs are after a long layoff, but if they're decent I'll do the 70km route with you if you want to, if not I'm heading into the PTA east dirt.

Jeepers!! was this a race?

 

That drag on the old Bronkies road back is quite a killer. For a training ride this is a serious pace.

I know the Savages like their claim to fame, but the Velo guys and girls certainly know how to #hammer. They ejected me from A the other day like I had a top fuel dragster's parachute stuck to my back

Trailseeker series on tomorrow.

So most of the East trails will be chaos.

Now you know why these guys never race.  They just join the club ride for free.
