I will update the thread with more info on the route for those that would like to ride with us to the finish from Oranjeville on the Saturday.
The guys will really appreciate the support!

Quick update in the route details: 24 Feb 09

On Saturday the 7th, the run is heading home and the riders will be having lunch at a lodge in Grootvlei called Oupoort Lodge  S26 49.158 E28 31.122.
For the GPS challenged folk, it is on the R51 (19KMs from the R23 intersection heading towards the N3) just outside of Balfour. This is about an hour and a half outside of JHB.

The first riders are expected to be in around 11.00am and the lodge will cater for lunch for outsiders that will be coming through to support the riders. Hot dogs and boerewors rolls will be on sale for the visitors.

The DJ committee are asking riders to come out and support the older bikes (all are welcome and you can come on your Vintage, classic or modern bike).
After lunch the riders will make their way to JHB and the finish which is at the James hall Museum of transport in Wemmer Pan S26 14.036 E28 03.209. Visitors are encouraged to ride along with the guys and girls
