Thanks guy, not sure I'll be doing the August one, doing the trans Baviaans, so I might not want to see a bicycle for a while after that

Some additional information:

 

Herewith is the Route for the abovementioned BRM.

The option exists for you to choose to ride the event in one of two formats.

Common to both formats is the outward and return aspects of the route.

That is, Salisbury House to the Crossroads R550/M61 at Kliprivier and return.

The first option is as described in the attachment:>> Henley on Klip>> 3 Rivers>>Heidelberg and return

via the R103 and R550 to the M61 Xrds.

The second option is to use the same route in reverse from the R550/M61 X rds.

That is; from the X Rds>>Heidelberg>>3 Rivers>>Henley on Klip>>back to the R550/M61 X rds.

The choice is yours. If you think you might like to exercise the second option please let me know.

I will send you the alternative Route Sheet.

However; here is the bonus; you can decide on the day which option you would like to take!

Cheers and safe riding.

You talk as if I know where the hell you are talking about

 

Seriously I have no idea where the start is or what time the ride starts...

 

any chance of a map? or more deliberate directions for those of us who do not venture out much??

Well got through my first Audax, phew. Was quite an experience, my first ride over 130km. I felt surprisingly good the whole day, even though we went the wrong way at one point and missed the first checkpoint, though we still covered the whole distance trying to backtrack . We were sitting nicely with a bunch in the beginning, but I got a puncture as the guys were leaving from Henley, so we weren't able catch up after that.

 

Will definitely be back for future rides.

Congrats on your 1st 200!

 

We flew to H'burg without incident. The wind slowed us down on the H'burg-Eikenhof stretch. Impala and Butcher's Hill were tough coming as they did at the end of a tough day out.

Well done guys, I was thinking about you guys when the wind picked up in the afternoon. At least it was warmer than the ride in June!!

Thanks! There was quite a quick pace set early on, would have loved to stick with the group. That headwind was very annoying toward Eikenhof, also slowed us quite a bit. Those hills were on my mind all day long, knowing we'd have to come back up them on the way back.

Thanks. Yip, much warmer than last month. Summer's coming! My polar had a low of 0 deg C and a high of 33 deg C yesterday. Quite a range of temperature!
