Battery_Chick Posted April 11, 2022 Share Hi Hubbers. I'm coming down for a birthday party on the weekend of the 30th and keen to ride Karkloof on the 28th and 29th, possibly even the afternoon of the 27th (traveling down from Jhb). I don't typically ride alone, can anyone help me with the lay of the land? Are there groups I could join? People who would be willing to ride with me? I have a dual sus trail bike and fairly good skills, but not as fit as I would like. 20km rides are probably my speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted April 11, 2022 Share The 23km loop is fantastic and thanks to the extra oxygen down there the climbs are definitely a lot better than up here in the smog. Trails are extremely well maintained and marked out so even a solo ride is perfectly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battery_Chick Posted April 11, 2022 Share Thanks Steady Spin. Safe for woman to go solo? Cellphone signal in case of difficulty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riding alone is always a risk in case of a crash but general safety seems to be a problem. No reported incidents to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
