Come on hubbers, no entries from you guys yet. What's going on? FUTURE FORWARD DOME TO DOME 3 DAY TOUR<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The Future Forward Dome to Dome 3 day tour is a multi day social event for the whole family. The Tour starts on Friday 1st September 2006 at the Northgate Dome in Randburg. Cyclists will ride in groups to Parys in the Freestate. On the Saturday participants have a choice of 3 routes, the 100km Crater Cruise route (MTB), the 50km Crater cruise route (MTB) or the 85 km Master Blaster route (road). On the Sunday, participants will return to the Northgate Dome via the same route as traveled on the Friday. PLEASE NOTE: THIS TOUR IS NOT ON THE SAME WEEKEND AS THE CRATER CRUISE!!! This event is not a race, but rather a social tour, where the emphasis will be on enjoyment, making friends and enjoying the road and surrounding nature. All levels of riders will be catered for, but you need to be able to spend at least 6 to 7 hours in the saddle for 3 consecutive days. The venue for the weekend is the Silhouette arena, home of the Crater Cruise. There participants and their families will stay in tents provided by the organizers. Toilets and hot showers are provided. Each participant will have a 2 man tent with 2 foam mattresses. You are welcome to bring your own tent, provided it is a dome type that does not need tent pegs to keep it upright! Participants are welcome to make use of other accommodation in Parys at their own cost. The organizers will provide ?pap en sous? on both evenings, as well as oats for breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. This event is being held in aid of charity. Details of this charity can be found at www.futureforward.org.za A pre-race briefing will be held 15 minutes before the start of the ride at the Dome. Attendance is compulsory.

CP, send me an email and I will send you the details. Already got about 5 or 6 responses from the Hub.

OK guys and girls, it's coming together nicely now. Entries will open next week. Please send me a mail at rudolph.horn@eoh.co.za and I will mail you the details and entry forms.

I would like to run a concept past all you cycle-mad folks This will be a charity event. It is a 3 day tour. Friday Road stage from Jhb to Parys(in the Freestate!), about 150km. Saturday MTB Crater Cruise route, 100km. Sunday Road stage Parys to Jhb, about 150km. The finer details are already well into the planning stage, but what do you guys think of this concept? We want to limit the number to 100, so it will be very exclusive. Will become an annual event.

Sorry, no more time. Leaving now to go and pack etc. Any hubber is more than welcome to call me 083 656 8732 any time during the tour to get an update. Maybe someone can keep a thread updated? Anyway, by for now, see you in Capetown
