dirtrider Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Cool . I am gonna cycle there from my place (Moved )
ThePanda Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007  (Wife in China) I'd never be able to fit... I'm quite tall. Â
MichH Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 This is deteriorating... the Thug, how safe to ride all the way down? Not better to stick to Spruit to Craighall park with Delta and Alberts?
MichH Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 P.S. Mampara, if a hydration pack is all that is keeping you back, I have a spare 2 litre pack with spare bladder for you to borrow
ThePanda Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I've also got a spare bladder, but no pack...Â
cat-i Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Mich, i might join you guys; keep me posted. anyone for a 70 kay loop up krugersdorp hill on the saturday morning? (roadbike, that is)Â
Thug Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Â the Thug' date=' how safe to ride all the way down? Not better to stick to Spruit to Craighall park with Delta and Alberts?[/quote']Â Â Â Â Â Â What and miss that tough climb up to the Power Station? Â Â Â No, perfectly safe all the way down. I ride it frequently by myself.
Thug Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007  yeah but who would want to mug a thug?     True, but we are talking about a group ride.    I wouldn't recommend to a single female certain parts of the spruit, but I have never seen or heard of problems.  Â
MichH Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Cat-i, chat to Slowpoke. She's looking for a ride on Saturday.  Re Sunday, we will work out a route when we start. Everyone happy to start at Emmarentia? So far:MichHDad (who turned 59 today and STILL kicks my butt on the bike!)Dirt RiderThe PandaCat-i (maybe)The Thug (maybe)Mampara (maybe)
dirtrider Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I really don't care where you start as long as somebody gives me direction on how to get there . I only know Church street in Pretoria and Oxford Rd in Sandton .
AndreZA Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I really don't care where you start as long as somebody gives me direction on how to get there . I only know Church street in Pretoria and Oxford Rd in Sandton .  Those roads are no where near Emerentia.  Anyway, go N1 south towards Bloem. Take Beyers Naude off-ramp. Turn left and continue for quite a bit past Cresta centre on you left and a few k's more Northcliff corner on your right. Proberbly another 2-3 kms you will see Westpark Cemetary on your right and the next traffic light you turn left. Entrance will be on your right just after you've turned. There are two entrances to the same parkign area . Sometimes they close the first one so just drive on another 100m to get to the second one.Â
MichH Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 Mampara is very helpful isn't he? The road that you turn into is Thomas Bowler
