Do we want the PPA involved at all, if they are not yet?

Someone did mention that the PPA wont be involved but will send delegates. Think it was on the other topic of Cyclist down on Bottelary.

MC for the Memorial ride confirmed. Shaun Peters will be doing the honours. If any one has any request you can send it to me. Please do so before Friday so that I can print if for him. We don't want to forget anybody.

Any of the locals interested in extending the ride after the ceremony?

Carry on over the R304 to the R44, turn left towards Klapmuts, carry on to the R312 to Fruitsellers 4 way Stop, right on the R304 again to the Silos, left on R302 to Durbanville.

From start at Graanendal shopping complex to back to Graanendal is 87.6km.

Pace will not be hard, time for hard training is over, now it is time to keep the legs busy.

MEMORIAL RIDE FOR GREGORY BASSON

 

Friends and family of Gregory Basson who was recently killed in a hit-and-run incident on Bottelary Road, are planning a memorial ride on Saturday 4 March and would like cyclists to join them.The group will depart from Kuilsriver Ipic at 07h30 (meet at 07h00) to cycle to the spot where the accident happened (about 15 km one way) and where a ghost bike has been placed in remembrance of Gregory. From there you can either return to Kuilsriver, or continue towards Stellenbosch.

+- 15 km of cycling to the ghost bike. 

We will be cycling in a group.

 

Please no angry mops or blocking the road. Keep safe cycling in mind, and only use the yellow line.
