Skidmark Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Seriously considering the implications of a 10 day cycle from PE to CPT… Average ±100km's a day, 2 rest days in between… Could be fun, ya? Anyone else done a ride like this? Thoughts?

The OriginalSpartacus Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Microsoft Club 100 from JHB ride it every year, around January / February. Get in touch with them, they have A and B groups with back up vehicles, plus they arrange all the accommodation etc.
Rydogg Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 If you do it the other way around, I'll join you up until Knysna... Been trying to plan a trip like this for ages.

Ya the planning is really just so that we can end our day's ride in a town decent enough to spend the night in.. IE plan where we'll spend each night.

Haven't thought of routes too much yet, but yes R62 would probably be the route we'd take... staying off the main highways and plenty of li'l towns to spend the night in.
