City Cycling Athletic Club

the mtb'ers in the club reckon that the distances per day are too long - only 2 days out of the 6 is under 100 kms. we have therefore still a few places open for non members. anyone interested?

i just received these 3 fotos of the City Cycling Club members only race from the Century City people

my original post stated that we will be camping, that is incorrect we will not be camping.

Last year City members rode back from the Knysna Oyster Festival and really had a enjoyable time. This year we are going to ride back on gravel roads from Sedgefield. We are opening the trip to non City members so if you are interested in joining us for a memorable trip please pm me. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Just in brief this is what we have planned so far: Leave CT on Friday 3 July Ride the mtb race on Saturday Day 1.Leave for CT on Sunday 5 July, arrive and sleepover at Zingela Ndledla (game farm) Day 2 ? sleep over at Riversdale (Oakdale Farm Cottages) Day 3 ? Sleep over at Barrydale Hotel Day 4 ? Sleep over in Montagu Day 5 ? Sleep over at Nekkies Day 6 ? Home Please note , we will NOT be camping in tents.

We have applied for 32 in total have received most of them but still a few outstanding from beginning of January that may have got lost in the system.

Thanks Ronelle , i will get all the results up during the week.

Charles rode our club TT over 25kms , started last and finished 1st.

Thanks to Serendipity, we have the makings of a very enjoyable ride back to CT. So far we have mapped out a route from Sedgefield to George, Blanco, Groot Brak and Brandwag for day1 then to Riversdale via Herbertsdale on day 2. We have consulted with Roads 4 Africa, a 4x4 club and an "operator" for the rest of the way. We have been advised that it will be no walk in da park ie 645 kms in 6 days.
