flymango Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Cool. A new place Never heard of this place. Hows the single track? Googled the place now and read that its 80% jeep track and only 20 single. Is that correct? Safe to ride alone? Techical? Single track isn't going to blow your mind but there's more than enough of it to enjoy. Not technical at all, and the whole route is on access controlled land - so very safe I'd say. But lots of thorns, so make sure you're tubeless with lots of slime. Well worth it. And make sure you have enough water for a 2.5 hour ride (red route).
hayleyearth Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I covered a bit of miles this weekend (by foot and bike) but didn't stop to take many photo's this time around. Love the freedom of being outside! Man it makes my soul happy being outside just covering miles on my bike! BrandonF_, DJR, Andrew_Smith and 5 others 8

IMG_20170603_144938.jpgIMG_20170603_145021.jpgThe first photo makes me think of the tunnel at Victory Park on the spruit in JHB. I looked and thought, oh yea, she's put an old pic up, but then it was clean so I had to look again .
Rata-tat-tat Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 I'm in George on Saturday, maybe I should take a bike... Anyone know Kulula's rules on flying with bicycles? I think it was R300 for a bike/sporting equipment.

I looked and thought, oh yea, she's put an old pic up, but then it was clean so I had to look again . I will be lying if I say I don't miss the Spruit at times, I think about it at least once a week. I think how many miles I rode there and by luck or blessing alone nothing ever happened to me - even more scary when I think how and where I always rode alone there (even after sunset) - flip!If that place can become/stay safe it is a gem for sure! I for sure have it to thank for keeping my sanity through my years in JHB! Miss all the people I got to have quick 1min chats too alone my rides there - sheesh plenty of which now live outside SA...You, Patches, Pieter etc....I still have to meet people here on my 'general' routes.

The spruit was good fun. I first need to start commuting et cetera, and then I'll start seeing regular faces. I see the regulars on my morning bus to work and walks to the office.

dev null Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Sunset singlespeed ride on Helderberg. Smashed out a ride in the lovely winter weather before the mother of all storms hit us. I hate that hill. Can never ride the very last bit.
