JT24 depends on when you want to ride; with/without a group; road/off-road etc.

 

Weekends for road - Bruce Reyneke Cycles - Lynnwood Road - Sat around 85km and Sunday 75/120km

 

Velo Cycling Club - road check their website - www.velo.co.za

 

Off-road - Fritz Pienaar Cycles - not sure of the offr-road routes but would guess in the areas of KlapperKnop or Monument.

 

If you want to ride alone - the Groenkloof, Waterkloof, Klapperkop, Queen Willemina Street; Union Bldgs (Good hill training)

 

Distance - Rietvlei Dam loop via Botha Avenue

If you alone ... rather do not attempt ... rather ride the East Lynne, Zambesi Road over PTA North Hill otherwise you can also do the Soutpansberg via Tom Jenkins?

Come out to hammanskraal for some awesome cycling

[JT24]

hammanskraal sounds nice. I'll be riding mostly alone, am looking for a reasonably safe route, heard many stories about Moloto road. Thanx KlapperKnop.

You are joking right?

 

Hope you have good medical aid/life insurance and your will is in order.

 

Stick to Pta East/Waterkloof/Centurion side

[Canaris]

Mtb routes in  in the Groenkloof, Klapperkop Waterkloof area, are plenty.

 

Road cycling is a bit more restricted.  Select cycling club haunts these hills on thursday's and tuesdays.  (mostly Klapperkop).  THey also ride from Bruce's Cycles on saterday and sundays.

 

THe most popular training road is Johan Rissik on Klapperkop.  THere are almost always cyclists on this hill.  (About 5km long for the roadies).

 

IF you are interested in mtb rides PM me.

or do ROOIWAL iets nice and not so manny cars if you are there

Stay away from Moloto.  Only on weekends and EARLY in the morning.  Later in the day the busses will kill you and on Sundays the boere omies going to church in their Hiluxe will run you over.

 

East side out on Lynnwood is always a nice ride but also not on week days.

 

Weekdays we stay inside the city.  Botha ave.  Groenkloof.  Brooklyn area.

Use to train that area... Go up Klapperkop, at the top keep left over stop street and at teh circle left. Down the nice hill and just keep straight till you get the road that goes back to fountain circle.  About 10-12Km loop... very nice training!!!! Mon and Tue 10-12 Laps - Wed 5-6 Laps interval training - Thu 4 laps steady pace and Fri 2 laps easy and of you go!!! But not sure how safe it is up there anymore... heard people got mugged there??
