Yes, I'm doing it again. So many people said "Keen! But can't make it..." last time, so here's a second chance.
Previous run:
https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=95577.0
The route has been tweaked - I'm doing it clockwise this time, dodging that township and hopefully doing a lot fewer u-turns!
There'll be a lot less mud this time (or none at all), and the route is generally hard-pack gravel so it's noob friendly. The hardest part is probably Breedts Nek itself, but the rocky section will be downhill = easy.
The pace will be relaxed, with plenty smoke/drink stops. We'll meet at around 7, have breakfast somewhere (suggestions?), do the route, and should be back around 15:00 depending how we go.
PTA meeting point/time and the breakfast spot will be confirmed soon, but it'll all be close to the mapped route.
The red line on the map is a route that I'd like to include somehow, but I need to recce it first as I'm not sure if you can actually get through.
Route: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?vps=2&ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=204142044685212825360.0004bb1f17f0bd44108a8
JHB meet at Engen on William Nicol opposite Fourways Crossing - depart 7:00
PTA meet at breakfast spot?
Who's in?
