After a week or two of limited exercise it was good to be back in Jonkershoek! We decided to take it easy and do a 16km Jonkers circle. We started with the “higher” Eastern circle route and then connected with the normal circle route which naturally turn back to run towards the Jonkershoek gate. At about 8km’s we crossed over to the Eastern Loop again and then looped back to return via the Western circle loop. A very nice way to start the Saturday!
