Visiting Joburg - need training advice/partner

[DirtyDan]

Cool, so...

Did Cradle Moon Monday - Blue/Yellow & Red. Man, what awesome trails! The red route was overgrown so made it sketchy with sniper rocks. Beautiful place and nice people.

Did Suikerbosrand today, lekker sweeping gradients - also beautiful landscape, but almost no animals sighted. You think a fair bit of poaching has taken place there? The Kareekloof entrance looked like a big weak link when I got to that side... 

Legs are quite poked now, but hoping to get to Thaba Trails tomorrow for an easy, fun effort.

Going away for the long weekend, but Buffelsdrift is on the cards for next week!

So far, Jozi doesnt seem like too *** of a place.

Welcome to the big smoke at altitude

Anyone been to Thaba Trails recently ?

Want to go on Saturday for some decent training. Use to do 2 laps (58km, 1100m), mostly green, with some blue thrown in.

Is this still possible, or has the route been changed with the development ?

Here’s a ride a friend did on Saturday. Most of the route is still the same, with the routes close to the main gate that has changed.

OP posts about Thaba being his easy ride... And that was his last post 🤣

Jokes aside... how did you find it? some tricky blue sections there (assuming they open)

Didn’t end up going - they rained out so I went to play at PWC/Cycle Lab bike park. 
The following week we stayed with rich in-law uncle who had a nice IDT setup so sat on there.
