SeanMort Posted February 28, 2009 Share Welcome back David ! We rode together to Bonnievale league race with City Cycle bus. Sounds like you are going to have one mean ride on your hands Just pre-order your super size slap chips meals from every Wimpy en-route and you'll be fine. I've never encountered anyone who eats as much as you though, so ask for the super-super-size Post your progress on the web if you can and contact us when you get to CT.

SeanMort Posted March 4, 2009 Share Update .. David sent me an SMS saying he needs some help entering Cape Town. I'm not familiar with the routes into CT [i'm new to the province] but would sure appreciate it if somebody could call or SMS David on 0714067007 to assist him on his journey. Keep us posted whoever responds. Thanks Hubbers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butafly Posted March 4, 2009 Share once he is over the mountain (du toits / Bainskloof) then he can cycle along the R101 , past Simonsvlei (big wine bottle), Klapmuts, Muldersvlei, turn left onto R304 to Stellenbosch and then right onto Bottelray. up into Bellville, along Frans Conradie (12th Avenue). From there he can either take the Voortekker Road thru Goodwood, Maitland , Salt River or the Atlantic option, thru Milnerton, Paarden Eiland. i would recommend Voortekker Road becos there will be less wind.

SeanMort Posted March 4, 2009 Share Thanks butafly, I've passed on your suggestions. Any others ? It's better to call David directly. He will take your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc2 Posted March 4, 2009 Share just received a sms from David "on way to town.finished.back in CT". he asked me to speak with the Premier of WC as he had emailed her office with the details of his trip etc etc. i spoke with her spokesperson and she was not able to arrange any official welcoming party as his trip was "unofficial". but she did say that he must contact her and arrange to meet and discuss certain possibilites of help for his cause.
