Jewbacca Posted July 14, 2021 Share Postponed.... Morne beat me to it! Styvie, don't wait for 'events', they are not something you want to rely on. Have a look at some of Rae Trew-Brown's adventures and routes, plan a trip and smash it Sid the Sloth, eala, MORNE and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros94 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Thanks guys ! Yea I normally ride on my own so that’s why I was keen on an event as Morne mentioned just a safe fun day or few days out with nothing else to worry about besides riding. Been looking at raes routes and missions and am planning a proper one towards the end of this year with a few mates from CT. I’m currently based in knysna thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m currently based in knysna thanks guys Living in Knysna you are so prime for safe adventures. Ride to Wilderness and back from thesen island and that’s 100miles all perfectly safe due to my planned 100milers being cancelled(2nd year in a row so I’m not calling it postponed) I’m doing my own Sid the Sloth and eddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to do that route ? Thesen to wilderness ? I’m guessing via seven passes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to do that route ? Thesen to wilderness ? I’m guessing via seven passes ? I actually do it pretty regularly in one direction, usually I get dropped off in Knysna and ride home. I Live in Hoekwil so I often (probably once a week) ride towards Knysna but turn off down Barrington and loop back home close to Sedge and via Hoogekraal I have never ridden 100 miles but am planning the Thesen island and back (150km from my door) pretty soon. Nowhere along this route is it remotely sketchy eddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Does anyone know whether there's a WA group for gravel riders/racers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros94 Posted July 15, 2021 Share I should maybe do the reverse get dropped in hoekwill and ride home . Sounds pretty rad! Iv just finished the gravel bike build and am waiting on some finishing touches to arrive and then I think I’ll tackle it ! stoked to hear you say it’s safe I definitely just over think it a lot . appreciate the advice and input we should link one day for that ride! 8 hours ago, Wayne pudding Mol said: I actually do it pretty regularly in one direction, usually I get dropped off in Knysna and ride home.

eala Posted July 21, 2021 Share George area and inland from Hartenbos and Mosselbay there are miles of perfect scenic gravel roads with almost no traffic or people other than the local friendly farmers Edited July 21, 2021 by eala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
