NotSoBigBen Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 So ..... been thinking about this for a while and today took the plunge and entered! Anyone else in?

NotSoBigBen Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 To those that have done this before ... When do we get the official route for Sunday?
jcza Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 To those that have done this before ... When do we get the official route for Sunday?They should mail it to you this week, else ask Speedracer. It's probably Heidelberg, Villiers Truck Stop and back via Henley. Sorry to miss it. Have a good ride.

Long Wheel Base Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Would have been keen on a 200 for TART training especially as this weekend was all washed out. 300 is just too long for me.
mecheng89 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 This year it's a 200km event - who's entering? I'm too lazy to read the R&Rs (rules and regulations), but is this event fully self-supported? Are we allowed help at the compulsory check points? I suppose no help along the route? Thanks!
Schnavel Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Myself and a few mates are keen! Haven't done one of these since the Ian Kernick ride in 2015

Ride to checkpoint two, get your card signed, buy a coke and a barone.Ride back to Lido, hand card in, buy a beer.
ScottCM Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Have been contemplating this for a week or so now, will make the call next week
the nerd Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Never even thought of one of these rides. How does it work? Like a big group ride or just ride along? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSome people 'rode along' some did their own thing, my boet and I rode together. I would do it Pat Malone this time, it's how I like it ????

GrumpyOldGuy Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Never even thought of one of these rides. How does it work? Like a big group ride or just ride along? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI used to do them, you can ride as a group if you like or on your own, essentially its not a race and there is no support, so you need to supply your own food and refreshments or buy along the route, they give you a small map but thats it, so if you get lost on your own,... well you are really on your own!. There are time limits for arriving too early or too late at check points and they can even hold you at the checkpoint if you arrive too soon,... that never happened to me though. They are quite fun, 200 kms is doable, I would do it.
