Directions (From B2B FB page):

From Joburg South take the N1 North and exit at the 14th Avenue offramp, turn left at the offramp and at the 2nd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.

 

From Joburg North take the N1 South and exit at the 14th Avenue offramp, turn right at the offramp and at the 3rd set of traffic lights turn right onto Hendrik Potgieter.

 

From Pretoria take the R28/N14 towards Krugersdorp. At the traffic lights just before Krugersdorp hill, turn right onto the N14 towards Ventersdorp

 

Now we should all be on the same road:

 

Continue on this road until T-Junction @ R563; turn right towards Hekpoort.

Keep right at the Ventersdorp split and continue for +-20kms.

Next T-Junction turn right towards Hartebeespoort (R560/R563) (27d 36' 39" E, 25d 53'13"S) (This is where you would normally turn left to go to the petrol station). Keep on this road for +-2kms until you see a Hartebeesfontein sign turn left onto the dirt road (27d 37' 17" E, 25d 52' 51"S)

Carry on for a further +-100m turn right into the first road - the sign says Bultfontein (27d 37' 13" E, 25d 52' 40" S) and carry on for a further +-500/600m.

The entrance is on the RHS (look out for the blue HP6 sign) (27d 37' 26" E, 25d 52' 13").

At what pace are you looking at doing said ride?

[Agteros]

I have no idea... relaxed but not slow? Been a year since I've been on the MTB offroad, otherwise it has only done Critical Mass duties. Have done a lot of road riding in the last year though.

[MONS]

We are going to Breedts on Sunday morning, but its SLOW - 12-15km ave speed. Relaxed ride to stretch the legs. Let know if anyone wants to join.

 

Otherwise am sure we will pass you somewhere along the route.

Sounds good... questions:

Where do you start from (Hopefully "Nancy's" place)

To the top / shebeen / further?

Is Nance going along?

Here I am

[hayleyearth]

If it is Sunday I am also keen to join. I can do 15km/h to shebeen and back...

[Nancy Drew]

Mons, first off.... my MTB is still in its bike bag since Hell & Back which means I'll have to unpack and re-assemble it.....

 

but more importantly, I'm waiting to find out what my son's soccer schedule looks like.... if it allows, then I'll join you guys. If not, I'll make sure there's coffee waiting for you anyway

 

You're always welcome, that's what the place is there for

I'm riding on Sunday - whether Nance joins or not. Prefer her to be there though... Shebeen might be a bit further than what the others want to go?

My queen!

We need to get you mobile again.

Remove bike from bag, wash shoes and sends daddio for soccer duties

I HAVE been mobile...... but on my feet and in the pool...

 

I'm a little bit scared of what might crawl out of that bag now........ But I guess I have to do it at some point!

 

or I could just take my road bike to the top of Breedts
