The Spruit

[MatBlack]

Has anyone ridden the entire length of the spruit lately(Rivonia to Koppies)? Wondering what conditions the route is in and how safe it is? Thank you in advance.

Hi

From the Spruit Cafe to Emmerentia and Alberts farm is in good condition and busy on weekend mornings so i guess safety in numbers....i wouldn't ride it alone during the week. The worst section during the week is the bit just before Emmerentia, there have been many incidents there.

The bit from spruit cafe back to Sandton is a gamble, we haven't ridden it in ages either because it got too dodgy, over grown or we had to ride through so much sewage we just gave up. That said the part from Riverside scouts to 12th avenue is still 100%. We skip the dodgy section by going from spruit cafe by road through saints and joining again at the scouts hall.

enjoy
