racman Posted April 5, 2009 Share Hi, Just checking if there are any clubs/training rides/groups training in the Morningside/Sandton/Bryanston areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted April 5, 2009 Share Road or mtb? There's the normal FPC and 'Lab rides, and I know of 2 guys that do regular weekend mtb outrides out of Lonehill. Have done some good distances with them (50km+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted April 5, 2009 Share If you are talking about road, there is Illovo Cycling Group that leaves from the garage at Thrupps Centre in Illovo/Rosebank at 5 a.m. Tuesdays to Fridays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1kTT Posted April 5, 2009 Share main road engen is freaking hard ie if you can just hang in at the front you will be too strong for any other group in the area. ?there are a couple of slower engen groups but i havnt ridden with them so dont know av speed.illovo is a more like a fast social pace with a fast and medium group in summer and usually 1 group in winter.

Nancy Drew Posted April 5, 2009 Share Thanks 1kTT but ermmmm.... fast/medium is relative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1kTT Posted April 5, 2009 Share Thanks 1kTT but ermmmm.... fast/medium is relative? i know,but i dont know another way to describe it. ?if you have to ask/are worried about your fitness, you will definitely not survive front of engen and probably not illovo either. ?there is a very simple way to find out, just pitch and see.....
