Alberton / JHB South Hub Ride - Early November 2015

Anyone out there keen to mix it up with fellow Hubbers in a HUB RIDE early this November?

 

A couple of weeks before the 94.7

 

I am thinking of a nice easy loop of "Cheese factory" with sponsored venue and support Vehicles and some measure of traffic control assistance on the day. 

 

A few years ago I put together a HUB RIDE from the Mercedes Benz Showroom in Midrand,

 

Merc  accommodated us with the Venue, Parking, Bike park, Snacks and Refreshments afterward and topped it off with a grand prize (lucky draw) for a snazzy Car for one lucky HUBBER to cruise around in for the week. 

 

I am working with the Guys and Girls at Nash Nissan in Alberton who are in the mood to do the same if sufficient interest is there.

 

Things on the cards are:

 

Organised Mass ride at an easy pace +- 60km - not a race - a hub ride :)

 

A quick COFFEE and a Boerie Roll afterward.

 

Bike show - All local shops and importers are invited to place their Bikes on show amongst the new Nissan Models, also this will be a good time to have the "demo" bikes around for test rides etc :)  

 

Thule will be invited to accessorise some of the Cars in the showroom and provide a "prize" or two too.

 

I am thinking that we can allocate a space for the local Bikes that are for sale in the classifieds section on the floor too after the ride to help the private sales and upgrade train along.

 

A Grand Prize of a fully kitted out Nissan SUV (Thule) to drive for the week and weekend of the 94.7 cycle challenge :)

 

The whole thing to start at 07:00 and be done by 10:30 ish...11:00?

This could be my "comeback" ride... And always good to visit nsBBs 'hood.

Questions is whether the winner of the previous draw will be there (I'm not sure, but I don't think she is riding anymore...)

Nash Nissan in Alberton is about 13Km from the intersection.

We ride along Swartkoppies every weekend from that direction.

If it's a "Cheese Factory" loop, then it will be a bit more than 60Km - closer to 70Km.

 

Good Idea - I'm sure I can get a number of (anonymous) hubbers to attend too.
