Breedtsnek info

[wonduhboy]

Planning on riding Breedts on Sunday.

Can anyone advise where the best parking is (I remember reading about a Farmers land or something)

Also, anyone have a garmin file of the route to the shebeen?

 

Ridden it once before, but it was a while ago from a different direction.

 

Also, if anyone wants to join, we are planning on leaving at about 6.30, to the shebeen and back.

Average to slower pace, not racing at all.

Previously you would have parked at the garage, riden west along the R560, over the Magalies river and then turned right onto the dirt road (R99, Nooitgedacht sign I think). To park now, drive 200m past the dirt road that one cycles on and turn left at a farm called Berlouri - drive stright up the hill, past a dam and straight through a gate into the farm and park under the trees. Cost per car is R20. This dirt road leading up to the farm can get extremely muddy - thick, black stuff. If it looks churned up, go about 500m further along the tar road, turn L onto a dirt road and take the first L again. You will come out at the farm with the gate on your right.

Drive to hekpoort and about 1km past the bp petrol that will be on your right, you will find an entry into a parking lot...this will be on your left. That is where you must park. Then head out on the normal breedts gravel road, follow it until you hit a T-junction and turn right....start of the breedts climb....go up and over to the other side(this is where the shebeen is...cant miss it). Have a coke or stoney. Turn back and head home the way you came.
