TheDogShow Posted March 29, 2018 Share Hi, I regularly ride out to the Cradle on my road bike from the Cresta area, usually taking Hendrik Potgieter out. I've regularly spotted other roadies, sometimes starting from a similar area as me. My rides range from 70 - 100km depending on how I ride in the Cradle. Typical avg speeds for my rides are 28-30km/h and I do most of my riding early on a Sunday morning (5:30 start) but also Saturdays every now and then. I have previously ridden with some small groups but generally find there to be lots of idiots out there. I like riding with people for the company and also the safety but would rather ride alone than having my ride spoiled by guys making racist / sexist talk. I ride for the exercise but also to ride fast and as well as I can, striving to improve my riding. I race every now and then. My previous riding partners have relocated, either to CT or the UK. If you're someone cool with a positive outlook on life looking for a riding partner, please get in touch as I'm keen to find some new partners and perhaps even building a nice group. I guess riders starting from any of Cresta, Darrenwood, Linden, Northcliff, Fairlands and Berario, or surrounding areas will work in terms of meeting up before heading out.
