Groenkloof - still my favouritest singletrack in gauteng

It rained a little on Sunday.
But i had a ride arranged, and wasn't gonna miss out on some fun singletrack.

The parking lot looked a bit scary.


But soon we were paddling on sweet singletrack-rivers.


the signage in groenkloof is always clear - no doubt as to where the route's taking you :)



and a convenient bikwash at the finish

Still the best R18.50 you can spend




didn't want to get off the bike after the second lap in groenkloof today ... but needed some run-time too.

the running trails are superb!

For R18.50 you can get:

- a vida coffee

OR

- friendly cyclists with big grins
- free therapy from what-ever work-stresses of the past week, and clear your head for the week ahead
- have 4 zebras divide the cycling group
- train your river-cycling skills (where does all that water on my favourite piece of singletrack come from?)
- watch 9 giraffes not minding the cyclists
- bridges, technical climbs, one boring climb to keep the roadie-friends happy
- verry nice hiking trails for trailrunning

- and get to call it 'training'

- AND moyos just next door for after-ride munchies.
