Hatfield Brooklyn and surrounding cyclist

[Canaris]

Use to train that area... Go up Klapperkop' date=' 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??[/quote']

 

Not this year, and anyway the DH bunch have rebuild the DH track, so the muggers are now a bit less brazen.  THere is also a nice XC lap that starts at the radio mast, down to the golf course, along the Gold course fence to a single track that crosses Rissik, down to the fountain circle (ionside the fence, along the fence and back to the reservoir along the fire break, single track back the mask.  Some tough climbing there.

I also ride there regularly, so the muggers seem to have moved on

ok' date=' sounds interesting, what about the moloto road in the evenings or weekday mornings? [/quote']

 

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

 

thanx, ok, maybe I will be seeing some of you on the roads.

Howzit I heard it's not safe to ride at Klapperkop unless

 

you're in a group is this true? Where does the route start and how long is it?

JT24, I know you said you ride alone ,but really consider riding with a group and/or club. Like klapperknop said Bruce Reyneke's group rides pretty much every day (except monday's) and on Sat and Sun.

On a weekend you have 4 groups to choose from. From beginner/slow to really hard and fast.
