Parallels challenge

[manjafel]

Right, there is this challenge called Parallels, go check it out. Basically it a see how far you can go in 24 hours type of deal.

But the unique selling point is that your distance is measured as the crow flies. To illustrate, if you do a circle route of 200 km; your distance, according to the rules of this challenge, would be zero km.

I think I found an excellent route.

The N14 between Vryburg and Upington. It is straight and it is flat. It drops from about 1200m above sea level to about 900m above. And the route would be about 406 km on the road but as the crow flies it would be 377 km.

But I do not know how safe it is. Consider that I would cycle through the night so heavy traffic (there is mining activity in the area so a lot of trucks) and high crime (where is there  ot high crime) would would put a nix on this route. I need some advice from locals.

Thank you
