'It looks fast' ... hoping that was a compliment from a track rider and not a slight on the rider's ability to ride ???? just randomly remembered about the one at Pilditch athletics stadium in Pretoria. go check it out, I remember it being pretty nice though I was last there 15y ago or something lol Pictures still look good and I see they even do bike hockey there ????

To my understanding they don't allow road bikes and track bikes on at the same time ... there are good reasons for that. I am not aware of any 'recreational' sessions that happen with road bikes anymore but I'm told it was possible in the past. I have no intention of racing track or even trying to 'emulate' some kind of track discipline, just go there for a bit of fun and it is easy to do interval training in a nice safe environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going around in circles will probably get boring after a while, but it cant be worse than an IDT not linked to a "game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We held the winter Crit series there in 2017, with lots of road bikes racing around the track. Was good fun. Then a few members used to do paceline work too on a Sunday afternoon. As NSBB says, as long as there aren’t track riders it should be okay. Eddie Roller would know more. I’m not sure of his BikeHub alias, but I’ll try find out.

Never too many bikes Posted August 6, 2021 Share 22 hours ago, NotSoBigBen said: Well it didn't fall apart ????

(may have changed name by now I suppose) If so, that really brings back memories. I used to ride my road bike from Bryanston to there, do a few laps and ride back. Would'nt try it nowadays though.
