Underachiever Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Eish, was planing to ride but I'm really scared of of the section on the R549 from Karan Beef to Heidelberg. I had some bad experiences on it before. May be it's different on a Sunday compared to a Saturday, but I'm still scared. Definately less busy on a Sunday, but you need to have eyes in the back of your head - the R23 heading back to Benoni is my personal nightmare.
GaryvdM Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Ok thought about it last night. Should be quieter on Sunday, and hopefully should not be on my own this time. So I'm in. See you guys there.
GaryvdM Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 If possible, please could someone send me the route sheet. Edit: got it. Thanks.

jcza Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Route is confirmed. I've emailed you the details. Same as Ian Kernick?
Spirog Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 So, for some masochistic reason, I'm considering the 200 km on the 27th. Longest ride I've ever done is Argus, but I cracked an entry for the Coronation DC in December. I'm doing between 7 and 9 hours a week with a single long ride of around 93 km. I'd plan to ride at 20 to 23 km/h. Will there be others to ride with? Do I just arrive with my bike and a couple of water bottles and plan to buy what I need on the route? I've fortunately got a system that handles most things.

The majority of the field finishes in 7-9 hours, so should be groups at your pace. I carry tubes, bombs, levers, multitool, tyre boot, and pump, but not much in the way of food as there are plenty of shops en route.
