Pencil me in (very lightly). I would really like to go, just got to check with the missus and find out about the kids.

 

[markStockton]

Very lightly added in pencil.

The ride will commence at 7:30am on the 1st of January.

All interested parties MUST email info@letsgocycling.co.za to confirm their ride.

We will be meeting at Tamboti Bush Lodge. Breakfast can be purchased at the lodge after the cycle.

A map to the venue can be found here:

Tamboti is number 22 on the map.

We will be doing a slow 15km cycling safari that all the cyclists can join and the faster cyclists can treat as a warm up. The group will then loop back to Tamboti Bush lodge were the slower / more hung over / younger cyclists can stop and have breakfast.

The rest of the cyclists will head out for another 15/20km's of cycling.

What to bring:

Camera.

Sunscreen.

Water.

Slimed tubes or tubeless tyres (there are a lot of thorns!)

Thanks,

Greg Gordon
