I think i will go and try majik forest on Sunday, what will be the best time to go?

Depends on the weather, but anytime is fun!!!

I'm very interested to join your weekend riding group.  I live in Stellenbosch but quite close to the Bottelary Road' date=' so no problem to join meet up from where ever you're cycling from.  Am a novice MTB'er and would like to learn how to be a better rider, so patience might be required.  Please let me know if your riding group takes off.....[/quote']

How did your De Grendal ride go?I did a 15km. yesterday around Durbanville area

[Heidi73]

You know it's tough going if you have to push your bike downhill!!!  It was a 15km loop so you kind of new what lied ahead the second time around....wasn't easier!  I seriously need some technical training, I fell so many times, my hands are aching because of too much braking - but I'm glad I finished, didn't feel like it at the time!  Pushed more than cycled, some serious, serious uphills!

How did your ride go?

[ZIPPO]

At least you finished and that says you have enough guts for this sport well done.My ride went well mostly uphill but on road very happy with myself just a little stiff this morning

[Heidi73]

Thanks!  Not sure if it was guts or stupidity haha!  Glad you enjoyed your ride as well!

Hey - trust me - lots of guts!! I'm also new to mtb (actually cycling!) and I did a 15km mtb as a first off-road experience. Then did a ladies mtb skills course at Dirtopia. At least got some insight there.  Helped a lot.

Now for the next step this weekend: 45km mtb. This might qualify as stupidity!   That's the only times I have ever rode off-road. Isn't it just fun! Despite all the bruises - I look like I've been in an accident after every ride! - I love it

 

[Heidi73]

Where you riding?  Good luck, 45km is quite something!  Thanks for the Dirtopia tip, they're just down the road from we so will give them a call

[ZIPPO]

what do you guys reckon should you take a rest day after a long ride or maybe just a short ride to get rid of the stifness

[NICONDA]

Heidi73 ry jy saam vannaand jonkerhoek, het n lig way jy kan gebruik [leen]. 

[scuzzy]

ZIPPO, a relaxing ride is always good, but give yourself some time to rest as well, if you gonna ride every day this week, maybe a rest day is not such a bad idea.

Hi, are there any beginner groups that ride from Bottelary rd on Saturday mornings?  Trying to balance the curch/cycling problem on Sunday mornings.

[ZIPPO]

Gotcha!
