4 Passes - SW start (125km) 7:00 (prelim)

From Waterstone Village (updated) we will go out over SIR LOWRY'S PASS, turn left towards grabouw, go over VILJOENS PASS, just over theewaterskloof bridge we will turn left up and over FRANSCHOEK PASS and then outside Franschoek, we will turn left towards Pniel, past boschendal over HELSHOOGTE PASS and through stellenbosch back to SW on the R44.

 

4 Passes - Andrag Start (160-170km) 06:00 (prelim)

Will go through Kuilsrivier and meet the rest at Waterstone Village (updated) and continue as above up to stellenbosch, were we will be  going back on the Klipheuwel and Bottelary Road.

 

Please advice were you will be riding and starting, so that we can make the neccesary arrangements.

thinking about setting up some ground rules - any suggestions?

 

At the moment there will be two groups:

 

Medium 2 Fast - ave of about 26-28km/h

Medium 2 Slower - ave of about 23-25km/h with lots of stops

 

the idea is that if there are slower guys starting at Andrag to stick together up to SW.

Rookie, we are going to be meeting at the MacDonalds at somerset mall, then we go from there.

 

BMC is just working out the times and stuff, but it would be nice if our group could go real slow and take in lots of  stops (orchads, entrance to BolandNR, before viljoens, Franshoek, Before hels, and then maybe in stellies since I think we will split and go different ways from there.
