woodee Posted April 9, 2009 Share Hi All I am looking to find out about the various mountain biking groups in the Sandton/fourways/lonehill/Bryanston area. I go for weekend rides with mates of mine and am looking for some more structured rides of various difficulties. My fiance is also getting into riding and needs to be able to join up with some more entry level to intermediate rides, as she can't always be expected to keep it going with all the guys. Please let me know what the options are, and what it means in terms of joining/membership/costs etc. I'd like to start doing a lot more races and sometimes battle to find out about them without either searching on here or entrytime etc, so am assuming a club would be the right way to go as they'd be in the know? Thanks in anticipation... Woodee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog_ Posted April 9, 2009 Share Trailriding does social rides. Not super long race-snake type of stuff, but generally more fun. You can join the rides for free, members get free skills clinics and a few more perks. www.trailriding.co.za Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowellingWulf Posted May 8, 2009 Share Hey Woodee, the guys from Fritz Pienaar Paulshof on Witkoppen drive do weekend rides. They also do weekday rides for the more advanced rider. I usually join them on the weekends. We either do a loop through Belleau (?) or go up the spruit to Emmerentia. They cater for all levels (although predominantly male). Check their contact details at http://www.fritzpienaarcycles.comGood luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
