Kristy Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hi Im new to the sport of mountain biking and i'd like to get involved in riding on weekends with a group. I live in the Gauteng North area so was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on who to contact or where I could perhaps go riding?

Kristy Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks, What is your opinion on Cycle lab......Did some research on the net and found them.
gremlin Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Not to sure, tried their web for their out rides and almost looks like the same thing over and over. Also went there a few times or trying to get info when buying but was not impressed. Get a much better service from my own local bike shops.
Kristy Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 Im in Randburg. I have found Northcliff cycles to be very helpful so i'll probably just keep using them.
Danger Dassie Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Also in the Randburg area.Northcliff and Cyclelab are both good, have never had a problem at either.Keep an eye out on the forums for rides as well.
Hog_ Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Check out www.trailriding.co.za Rides every weekend, skills clinics and chilled vibes. Worth joining in my opinion.
gremlin Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Im in Randburg. I have found Northcliff cycles to be very helpful so i'll probably just keep using them. Also used them a few times, they are always helpfull. Linden Cycles also very good and then I also go to Dunkeld Cycles.
Grim Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Hi I live near the Dome, we ride most weekends. We do the spruit, northern farms and a ride around the Ruimsig athletics stadium. We also do a home of the chicken pie ride. It all depends on what we feel like, try not to do the same route every weekend. Gets boring. Feel free to contact me if you would like to ride.
