Hub Ride at Northern Farm on 31 May

[Dibles]

Date: 31 May

 

Time: 08:30 start riding.

 

Venue: Northern Farm (www.northernfarm.co.za)

 

Cost: R20 for a single-entry ticket or R200 for a 20 visit entry card.

 

Please note: if you don't have a multi-entry card you will have to buy your tickets from SA Trails which is 2.7 kms from the Northern Farm entrance gate. It is very easy to find if you follow the directions on their website.

 

GPS coords of the ticket office (not 100% accurate but you will find the place if you end up here ) : S25 56 42.9 E27 57 13.2

 

GPS Coords for the Northern Farm entrance gate: S25 56 13.2 E27 59 17.5

 

Meet at the bike wash (area inside the fence where the buildings area)

 

If there are enough of us we will split into groups else we will ride at the pace of the slowest rider.

 

Bring a picnic lunch. We can sit at the picnic tables near the parking area afterwards and have the bikes washed at the same time (costs R10 I think).

You can also put me in as a possible. I SHOULD be back on my bike by then.

[Schwynn]

Holy Roller is more likely to be ridden over than you.  Just stick close to him and you'll be fine. (Assuming of course that he will grace us all with his presence...)

[Schwynn]

Just find a mud filled hole and I'm sure he's in!

 

Here's 6 Amstles saying he won't go into the next ditch! Schwynn2009-03-29 05:04:54

I'll bet 6 against you that he will ride in the river or get dirty somehow. I recall seeing a photo of him lying in the ditch at the side of the road at NF  Hope he reads this and posts the pic.

[VTSKING]

Did you fall down the ravine again? If so, look there first. It is understandable that you are considering charging appearance money. Your medical bills must be rather high! I'm willing to pay if you pitch wearing the magenta boa and nothing else but a smile.

[cat-i]

You're not asking, I'm offering. I just need to find out how to get there. Busy trying to find directions. It unfortunately means that you will have to drink some more while waiting for me
