Breedtsnek Mogallywood Breakfast - Monday 17th

[MTBc]

i spoke to Mogallywood yesterday - they can do breakfasts too if we arrange in advance. R50 for bacon, eggs, tomato, sausage, etc (English breakfast) with coffee and toast. Beer obviously available too.

 

We just need to let them know if we are going to stop, and an estimate on numbers for breakfast. Anyone keen on this pit stop en route back home?

[MONS]

that sounds great! Zoe also joining- how soon do we have to confirm numbers? i have a problem trying to post anything on the forum- will try sort out this morning! think that's a great idea! thanks for that!

[MTBc]

need to let Roeks know today, I'll PM you contact details to let me know of numbers from your side, and then check back here about 3pm to consolidate.

Oh, sorry for the hijack!

THANKS for an AWESOME ride! Totally enjoyed it - those climbs were a bit hectic but WOW! The lights were stunning! Will see you at the next one - this will become a def on the calender!

I am greatly distressed that the ice cream has been dropped from the ride However if there is breakfast available I'll do some forgiving.

 

Is the top of that 'little' hill part of the plan again?

Um... need to have reason to eat that farmhouse breakfast! But nobody says you HAVE to climb the little hill! (I am breaking out into a sweat just thinking about it!

 

PS - the ice cream we will have to do another time - also keen for that - even IF the route is boring district road - its miles I need!!

I'm out. Knee not allowing me to ride a bike. 60km on the road bike this morning ended with 30km riding back home being sheer torture

If it didn't bleed it's not there....

 

Where exactly is the start point/parking?

Directions as follows -

 

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").

Good Luck with that - if you going to use kineseology tape then try get leucotape! Works like a bomb! At least you can do your own strapping (if it comes to that) - let know what happens!
