slowpoke Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 ok, i'm going to ride this saturday with a pal from a biker forum and some of his buddies... we're meeting at Linden Cycles at 9:30am (my apologies, but i have to get teh painters sorted out at my house first before i can go ride). looking to do a total of about 20-30km is there anyone who wants to join us?
Cruzer Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I would have loved to but unfortunately I will be away in cape Town this weekend. Next time- deffinately!
Hog_ Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hmmm..... I may just join! Anyone interested at leaving Paulshof at 8, then meeting SP at 9h30? Then back to Paulshof?
Cruzer Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hog - you doing the HUB RIDE on the 6th September? Midrand Pretoria Midrand.
masood Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I will try and make it. Will we be back by around 12:30?
slowpoke Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 masood, as long as you help me on the long climbs i don't see why not! (i am super-unfit at the moment after all, any longer than that out on my mtb and i'll feel dead!)
mogwaai Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Not to put a huge damper on any plans but can one still get through TO or FROM the Paulshof side for that matter? I drove past - there is a huge pad-locked gate just before the N1 bridge ( as seen going over the low river bridge on Witkoppen ). Not too sure if whole area Spruit Trail area near where Witkoppen meets The Spruit trail has been gated, fenced and closed off!? Sure hope I'm wrong ... and there is a way round ...
