Training in Harties Area

[Coiser]

I will be in the Hartbeespoort Dam area between 10/12 - 16/12 How is the roads for traing in terms of safety(traffic)? We will be staying over at the Aeroden Lodge situated on the R512 between Magaliesberg and Harties. Your input will be valued.

 

Thanks

The roads aren't the greatest and the guys tend to fly down those roads, if you have a mtb you can train at Breedtsnek, very good training ride and it will be pretty close to where you are.

Van Gaalens - take the MTB.

 

Roads, are a little scary, but heading towards Hekpoort in the am, will be ok.

Forgot Van Gaalens,

thats lots of fun.

 

Actually, i need to get out there these holidays.

Thanks for the advice DJ84 & Kennyg. Unfortunately my MTB is a 1996 Avalanche which weighs a tonne and have no shocks or discs etc etc. I will definitely come off second trying a MTB route. I will go out early on the road and see what traffic does.

You should be ok on the Breedtsnek ride still, its a dirt road that you ride.

Enjoy, and its a good idea to get out EARLY!

It gets flippin hot out there in December.

Just avoid the harties majakaneng road (old pretoria - rustenburg road) those roads are so narrow you can barely fit two cars on it.

 

Plenty of MTB to do towards buffelspoort.
