Ride Description: Riding from the centre of Midrand all the way to Irene and back will take us along dirt roads, single track, jeep track and a very small bit of tar. We will be riding some single track across from Red Barn as well. Optional quick drinks break at the Smuts House turn-around for Blue and then back home mostly following the normal Midrand to Irene tracks. A relatively flat route – the only hills of note are to be found on the Irene loop. The green group won’t go all the way to Irene / Smuts House and will therefore not have these hills.
Green riders: This is not a ride for beginners but for experienced green riders!
Contact Wayne (number below) that you want to ride with this group. If he doesn’t get back to you before Saturday, the green group is ON (he will not contact you unless the ride is off). If there aren’t enough riders by Saturday (at least 7 without the leader), the group will be cancelled. So don’t just show up for the ride on Sunday as you might not have a group to ride with!
Bring money for breakfast afterwards. Visitors @ R30 per rider
