Ewep, what about Suikerbosrand if you want to go south?

I am keen for this weekend. Ewep you have to be there cos the Sister has to make food for us (she did such a good job last time).

I'll be there IanJ, but the sister is working this weekend, soneone has to pay for my addiction smileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gifsmileys/smiley15.gif.

 

Suikerbos, hmmm, you really wanna kill me, but it's ok.  BigBen will just have to meet us or explain to me how to ride when inside the reserve.  And once again, I'll do it at my OWN (read FLIPPING SLOW) pace.

Hey guys and girls, I see my name popping up every now and then so here goes! I will not be able to do much riding this weekend as most know I did the Vets 4 day tour over the last weekend. My dear wife seconded and massaged and washed kit and followed riders and made carbo loading food / drinks etc etc etc.

I have promised that this weekend it's her weekend and I will do whatever she wants. She has pretty much planned it in advance so no riding other than perhaps an early MTB Sat and Road Sun for max 2 hours.

However I would suggest that ewep's idea of meeting at Meyersdal, down Swartkoppies, Lido circuit, out to Kareekloof is good! From there I would go through the Suikerbosrand nature reserve (it's a tough climb but manageable!) and go straight out the other side. Go left at the bottom of the last descent, out the gate and then left at the T-Junction. If you follow that road straight it takes you back onto the Lido circuit. I will try to provide a profile and a bit of a map that might help!

Would be nice BB, I know the road to Kareekloof, but as soon as I'm through the gates, I'm LOST!!!

Ok lets make it a Sunday ride then, meet at Meyersdal and then we'll see what Big Ben can come up with as far as a map is concerned. I also don't want to go too far on Sunday (its not in my training programme). Maybe 2-3 hours or so.

I also think we should start a new thread. Ewep it was your idea, please start a new thread for this Sunday.
