This coming Sunday's JMBC outride is Nikita, starting from Nikita Portuguese Restaurant & Motel. This is an outride near Harties (one of my favorites). We meet in the parking lot at 6:30am to ride at 7am. NB please park in the parking lot to the left of the entrance when you arrive there.
Trail details :
The route is clockwise with the start directly across the road from the car park. We begin with a gravel climb to warm up the legs (all groups return via the same road…. Downhill). Green will turn left past the upside down house while Yellow cross the tar road at the T.
We all do the Western loop with some great single-track and few sand roads before entering the quarry with some technical sections. Green then returns on the tar road and onto the long gravel downhill back to Nikita. Red enjoy a twisty new single-track while Blue has a challenging technical climb and a rocky descent before rejoining the Red trail. All groups except Green head up the steep concrete strips to the viewpoint before following the Crocodile River down into Harties. This is a fairly technical ride with a fair bit of climbing for the faster groups. Save a bit for the climb before the downhill finish and well earned refreshments.
Distances:
- Green 26km
- Yellow 30km
- Red 34km
- Blue 39km
Visitors are most welcome, for a nominal fee of just R30 per rider. Look out for the blue club jerseys in the car park and ask for the ride coordinator.
Requirements: A reasonable level of fitness is required, a tool kit and being familiar with riding on single track.
