Letum911 Posted February 19, 2018 Share @CoachShane you're going to have to give loads more info. With the info supplied I suggest you ride out your driveway, turn left to the stop street/traffic light. turn left at the next, left at the next and keep going until you reach the desired distance. + of this is that should you have a mechanical you're close to home. Where do you want to start/finish?Do you want pit stops in the middle?Looking for a road going to nowhere and back or a twitchy city ride?What profile are you looking for?

CoachShane Posted February 19, 2018 Share Apoligies, starting anywhere in Northmead-Benoni. Flat route but dont mind hills(including Emperors) and ideally a loop but will take a double lap . Other than that im very flexible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2018 Share You could go petit-bapsfontein. At the 4 way stop by petit(not sure road names but there is a shell garage there) you can choose to go 3 ways from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2018 Share Yes i ride on my ownThen I am not sure how safe it is if you head daveyton side. Even bapsfontein isn't the greatest but there will be other riders on that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
