Woofie Posted August 24, 2011 Share Friend of mine is keen to start commuting to town, so I was thinking that it would be nice for him to hook up with some guys. Always nicer in a group and you guys can show him the ropes I know that Hairy used to go in, maybe still does? What time do you guys leave and where do you meet?

Thinkbeeg Posted August 30, 2011 Share I also commute from Blouberg to town via the BRT. I leave just after 6am and leave work again just after 4pm. Your friend is welcome to contact me so we can commute together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
