Speed Racer Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks to all the Hubbers who joined us in May, making it one of the best attended Audax rides in some time. This month's event is a 200km ride starting from Pro Cycles in Benoni on Sunday 30/6 at 7am. The route will take us through Bapsfontein and Delmas, to Bronkhorstspruit, before retracing our steps back to Benoni. These events are ideal winter training for riders of all abilities. The May event saw bunches finishing in times ranging from 7h30 to 9h30. For more details: www.audaxsa.co.za. Whose up for this one? Edited June 4, 2013 by Speed Racer

Underachiever Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 In BUT I must say, the road from Baps to Delmas is seriously dangerous. Especially in the afternoon.

Awesome that you're joining us again. Will try and stay with you this time. Got blasted off between Devon and Balfour last time :-( Regarding safety, it is so important that we ride in single file. This is tough in cross winds, where you want to maximize draft. You get lulled into a false sense of security in a bunch. Those roads are live all the time, and need to be treated with respect.

Yep I will be slower, suffer more, but I can at least ride on the shoulder!! Speed Racer 1

Speed Racer Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 The route for next Sunday's 200 is out. We're not heading out towards Cullinan anymore. New route is Benoni-Heidelburg-Dasville, out and back. The stretch from Heidelburg to Dasville is super quiet, from a traffic point of view.
