Enjoy a bike ride at night

Cycle Kyalami, a Greater Kyalami Conservancy initiative, is all about getting people to come out and enjoy nature while riding mountain bikes. The next night ride will take place on 18 October at 7pm and riders of all fitness levels are welcome to join in.

One of the event organisers, Darryl van Niekerk said, “Although it started off as a Saturday morning ride initially, a suggestion to try a night ride was well received and the ride now takes place once a month on the Tuesday closest to the full moon. Over the years we have been faithfully supported by the Sector 4 Community Forum as well as TRSS Reaction (Pty) Ltd to make sure all riders are safe,” she explained.

“The ride has recently moved from starting at the Lipizzaners to Kyalami Country Club so that those who wish to socialise afterwards can order a pizza, sit together and chat. We tend to take a break during the colder months due to poor attendance, but our spring event recently attracted more than 30 riders,” said Van Niekerk.

He said that the night ride was not a race and that those interested in joining do not have to pay any entrance fees.
