Click here for the mapTime: 8:00 to leave at 8:30 20km Start: Fratelli's RandburgDestination: Emmarentia Botanical Gardens20km Finish: Fratelli's RandburgThe parking area is on Hillcrest Avenue just off Conrad Drive. Click here for the mapTime: 9:00 to leave at 9:30 There will be ample parking at the bottom of the parking lot by the car wash.We will do a short briefing before we leave to discuss road crossings and the route itself.Please make sure that you have an ICE contact on your phone or with you. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency and this person will be the one that we notify should take a bad fall. Safety first!We will be stopping frequently along the way. It is a total of +- 40km at an easy pace.Make sure you bring enough liquids and a snack for the stop at Emmarentia.No helmet, no brain.The route is not very technical and it's fairly flat. There are a few climbs but nothing hectic.The ride is for anybody and everybody. Nobody gets left behind and the pace is determined by the slowest part of the group.It's a social gathering of like minded people enjoying a public holiday in the city!We will stop at technical sections and show the other less skilled riders how to approach it and then assist them in doing the section.A bit of a skills clinic as well as a social ride.For a profile and map of the route have a look at http://www.strava.co...nd-back-9444452 Please PM me you cell number, email address and name if you are going. Will setup a database and make contact before the time to confirm participation. or Subscribe to the list at http://eepurl.com/n7osX http://photostand.co.za/images/3570mfz57hu16sm6bm63.png J Edited August 8, 2012 by S.I.R Maxxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted July 31, 2012 Share Thanks Slick. We have quite a few road crossings and my primary concern is getting every body across safely. The more people that know the Spruit route, the better. Edited July 31, 2012 by S.I.R Maxxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
