Beginners Gravel road ride- Sunday 22nd August 2010

The BMWMCCC club has organised a gravel road ride for beginners and pillions in and around Durbanville and Paarl.

Meet before 08H00 Plattekloof Engen  - irrespective or rain, wind or shine, the ride will go ahead.

At 08H15, after I have checked off memberships and numbers, we will ride off towards Noorde Paarl via the farm roads.

We ride via Adderly road then via Spes Bona, Fisantekraal and a few other gravel roads to within 1 kilometer of our brunch stop in Paarl.

We return via a slightly different route and will end off in Adderly road, Durbanville shortly after 13H00

This ride is suited to riders new to gravel roads, riders who often ride gravel and is pillion friendly.

Total distance is 170 kilometers 60% on gravel.

Eta back in Durbanville 13H00.

We have planned a very tame water crossing on the route, (both ways) so we can give instruction on water crossings.

There is a R50.00 fee for non club members. (club dues not paid or not registered).

There will not be a back up bakkie following the bikes.

We have three riders trained in First Response with a medical kit.

 

Ride Captain’s Andy Connell and Pete O’Hanlon will lead the ride with Annie riding sweep.

Annie n I each have room for one pillion, first come, first served.

Let me know if you would like to join your fellow Club members on this nice and easy Club outing. If you

 

 

post on the Forum please use your real name.

Interested parties to mail Annie on anne@abarc.co.za or 082 4210003 to confirm attendance.

P.S. This is a gravel road ride
