Recommended Posts

I'm moving to Wilgeheuwel in Roodepoort soon and need to join a group of riders that cycle in that area week mornings.....

 

Please let me know if there are any groups I can join.

For my 2c worth am happy to do either road or MTB but MTB will give you more options and versatility and ability to duck traffic etc.

 

Where - your generally going to head west unless go for the spruit or similar so on or west of Christiaan de Wet? Several gyms around etc

 

Timing will have to see what peoples aspirations are here, I like a lie in :whistling:  but realise many need an early start for work

 

I will only get back from travelling late March but keen from then.

Im not too familiar with any routes in the area, I usually take a drive to the cradle and ride there

There are a few options to get to the cradle from HP.

MTB, you can go via the quarry road, or the Peter Rd ST, or via the Beyers ST/gravel shoulder.

 

We often meet in HP by the Pick n Pay robots, around 5:15, road bike into Cradle via N14 and to the caves past Bidon, back at 7:15 about 32kmh average

32km/h avg might be a bit of a push for me right now so I might have to get some more training rides in before I join.

 

What days do you guys ride?

 

Do you come back the same way via HP?

Pace is dictated by the slowest guy in the group, so dont stress about it at all! Mostly we plan Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays. But more often that not we sleep in ????????????

Yes, we come back via HP, it's not fun doing that road after 7am, buts it's the only way back, and we get to say hi to BDFs bike each time as we ride past it :)

 

PM me your details if you want I'll ping you a message when we go again.

The PM will relate to dress code, as everything else is mentioned above :P
