Bateleur1 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Spiddy is revering to the Schoemansdal Veldskool which is 25 kilos from the start (Start of the last stage as well). The boarding school is in town but not sure where. Ask Chilli, she might know. But this is a small town, by the time you warm up you are long gone out of town.
1hill@aTime Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 dankie vir die hulp spinnekop, now all i need to do is stay on your wheel
Frenchy Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 anyone who has done this last year' date=' please help me with deciding on accomodation info, like close enough to the start, so i can just cycle there in the morning, and reasonably priced.[/quote'] Myself and Mrs Frency also riding the 175 k's for the first time. Did the 100 km twice. Stayed in the caravan park in town just next to the venue/start (run by local municipality), and enjoyed it. Staying there again this year, arriving Thursday and depart on Monday. Very convenient and not costing too much. Ablution facilities also good. See you hubbers then!
1hill@aTime Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 ja, the auntie i spoke to this morning, said when you come into town it's the fourth traffic circle, you turn left, it's the Louis Trichard girls hostel.
