Due to popular demand (and being harrassed almost to death by Agteros) we will have another Breedts Nek Group Ride on Sunday the 20th December. My family have once again graciously offered their property as a secure parking area and meeting place. The only request that they had is that you wash off most of the accumulated dirt from the ride in the shower before jumping into the pool More details to follow. Right lets start a list: Agteros Nancy Drew David#7 Friend of David#7 - Natalie Other friend of David#7 - Lisa gtracing Face Plant friend of Face Plant friend of gtracing #1 friend of gtracing #2 friend of gtracing #3 Summit Cycles and his singlespeed (Mr 24 hour ) IanJ Sonic TNT1 Cat-i Cat-i's Joberg2C partner jmaccelari candy candy's BF Hog_ Rad006 Schwynn Roundwego danger dassie Thug (even if IanJ isn't pushing him up the hill) Wonder Woman & jnr ww (work permitting) Dusty Dusty's better half Thumper Dobby (Ms 24 hour ) TNOSE_E Sandstone Sandstone's better half Gillie BigBen (provided he can get a pink slip) mrmed (sorry but IanJ's hands are full it seems) dirt-rider (paperwork approved) ngala24 Amateur Zaskar jules Holy Roller (probably not riding (again)) UNIruanCYCLE bored girl BUKSIE BUKSIE's Girlfriend Slowpoke (Maybe) epoh Ricky Bobby (missus permitting) predictor (Maybe) Date: Sunday 20 December Time: 6h30 to ride at 7h00 Distance: 57km 640m ascent or 68km 985m ascent.

Directions: From Jo?burg South take the N1 North and exit at the <?: prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><?: PREFIX = ST1 /> 14th Avenue offramp, turn left at the offramp and at the 2nd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.<?: PREFIX = O /> From Jo?burg North take the N1 South and exit at the 14th Avenue offramp, turn right at the offramp and at the 3rd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter. From Pretoria take the R28/N14 towards Krugersdorp. At the old fourway stop (which is now a set of traffic lights), just before Krugersdorp hill, turn right onto the N14 towards Ventersdorp Now we should all be on the same road: Continue on this road until T-Junction @ R563; turn right towards Hekpoort. Keep right at the Ventersdorp split and continue for +-20kms. Next T-Junction turn right towards Hartebeespoort (R560/R563) (27d 36? 39? E, 25d 53? 13? S) (This is where you would normally turn left to go to the petrol station). Keep on this road for +-2kms until you see a Hartebeesfontein sign (you will see an abandoned white building with a coca cola sign called Geolin coke distributors) turn left onto the dirt road (27d 37? 17? E, 25d 52? 51? S) Carry on for a further +-100m turn right into the first road - the sign says Bultfontein (27d 37? 13? E, 25d 52? 40? S) and carry on for a further +-500/600m. There is an entrance to a farm called Rainbow?s End (pink sign) on the RHS?. DON?T use this entrance? but the one just before (there is a blue HP6 sign) (27d 37? 26? E, 25d 52? 13? S). Turn left as soon as you can i.e. go to the LHS of the concrete dam ? I will show you where to park as soon as you arrive There are ablution facilities. The ablution block which many of you will remember was fairly rough and ready last year is now tiled. There are hot showers available 3 ladies/3 mens. Just a friendly reminder to have a quick rinse-off in the shower if you plan on jumping into the pool. Last year the pool was fairly disgusting after everyone left (the little pond/dam thingy in Parys at Crater Cruise comes to mind ) Nancy Drew2009-12-19 00:01:34
