I know this topic is old but maybe can also just throw in something here, coming back from Centurion to Bloem and I was also very wary of riding on the N1. I was to used too cycling in the Cradle in GP, but as said before it is much more safer to go cycling on the N1 and the cyclist behave on the N1 and yes once peak hits )shool holidays and December holidays) we stay clear of the N1 just too busy then. The road in Bloem is full of potholes and traffic is a nightmare in town for cyclists, we also often ride on the Petrusburg/Kimberley road. I wish we could get a loop like in The Cradle this side then it would be a real pleasure too go out for a ride.

Yeah same comment as they above, not a lot of trails in Bloemfontein. Me coming back to Bloem has not been great, I stayed close to Northern Farms in Centurion so the routes here is not great for some just off road riding. Once went to Lochs Hoek with my wife and son and my wife fell as that is forsure not a beginner course and the grass is overgrown. Some of the guys here say that Woodlands have great trails but can you go ride there without having to know someone that stays in the estate?

Yes for the last 2weeks I have been doing my training later, I once started riding at 1 in the afternoon after writing exams Im just hoping to finish that would be great hahaha.

Thanx for the guys that replied to my question regarding the sweep vehicles, I start 09:27 in Group NN. Will try my best to make it the 6hours hahaha, I am aiming for 05:30 on the least. I started my training for this to late but in the month + that I have been traning I got way better then when I started out. Its just the inclines which kills me and the long sit on the saddle now thats a real pain.

Hi Im a noob to cycling and I have been training now for a month + for the 94.7, now what I want to know is there really sweep vehicles that picks you up if you didnt make certain cut off points? Im really going to push to make in in the 6hours but what if at some certain point you a bit tired and dont make the cutt off time to a certain point.
