Sorry, mate, which highway? N17 or N12?
scotty Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Sorry, mate, which highway? N17 or N12?This came from Sunward Wheeler's so i assume its the N17, but yes Rondebult does go over both.

I cycled around there quite a bit - on my own! Last weekend I got chased by two guys in Spartan. Got away though. Now I head to Linksfield, Bedfordview, Dowerglen etc... areas. Feels much safer.
DominionZA Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 DominionZa and 1hill, what time? My Spartan incident was around 14H00 on the Sat.
