Charl Fick Posted May 20, 2021 Share Getting back into road cycling and looking for group rides within the Kempton Park area. I know Finish line Cycles have a few MTB groups but looking for road group that I can join will also not be able to keep up with any racing snakes ????

TNT1 Posted May 20, 2021 Share The group at the Shell garage will probably be too fast for you at the moment by the sounds of things. Most of the guys trek across to Bl and ride with them week days and weekends. It's not a bad option, there's always different distances and speeds to choose from.

Dexter-morgan Posted May 20, 2021 Share I always promote Bicycle line, its just down the road from Kempton, many guys riding from Kempton to BL and they have 3 to 4 groups ranging from 30 plus vat ave down to 24.

It's a good warm up. Just be careful of the hijack spot on Atlas and on Tulbagh in Glen Marais. Guy was jacked on Tulbagh recently, and last Saturday I was nearly a victim. Fortunately I stopped at the VDS gate and the guards assisted me. Got me a escort with a guarding vehicle down Atlas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of guys had a near miss there a few weeks ago. Seems like the guys hid in the veld, pop out threw some stones/bricks and tried to grab guys.

I wanted to add to my post that its a fairly rapid section so probably not a viable spot for jacking. That being pretty much part of every ride I do, when the story first emerged my first thoughts were that it was a spur of the moment unplanned hopefull attack and not bikejackers per se TNT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
