I'm keen to get a long ride in (around 80km). I'll be staying at Mountain Sanctuary Park. If I can get going really early, maybe I can get to the start on time and ride back with the 68km group. It's probably 5-6km from Mountain Sanctuary park to the Spaza shop, so that makes it 40km to the start. I'll have to be up at sparrows!

 

Does anyone know if there's a more direct route from MSP over Breedts nek without going all the way down then up again? Isn't this what happens in the Magalies monster? Or does that also go over other private normally inaccessible private land?

My word, it has been ages, since I've been to Breedsnek!!

 

Does this mean you're joining us Zoo?

 

[Nancy Drew]

Is it possible to have the contact number of someone who is riding tomorrow (not for stalking purposes ) but in case we have a problem getting there or get lost etc?

 

I'll PM everyone that is attending my cell phone number in a while

List updated and made a little bit neater

beanz, there is unfortunately no more direct route - believe me, I have tried

every other route would traverse private property

 

From Mountain Sanctuary it's roughly 36kms to where we'll be starting, at my pace (slow), that's about 2h15m..... so if you left at 6h00 and assuming you're faster than me (most people are), you'd get at least 3/4's of the way to the start before running into us.

 

Hope to see you

There are lots of hungry cats and dogs out there, your bag/tin of cat/dog food will be appreciated. There'll be a box of some sort for you to drop your donation into when you arrive

 

they seem to be having issues with their website today, but you can also google Friends of Rescued Animals for more info on what they're about
