Nelson Mandela Charity Ride - Sunday 18 July
Jan du Toit is currently busy with a charity ride for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
They will be riding from Franschhoek to Khayelitsha on Sunday morning and asked us to get 15 to 20 bikes together to join them.
We will be leaving from the Engen one stop on the N1 at 8.00 sharp on
Sunday morning to join them in Franschoek. You can also join us in
Franschoek at 8.30 in front of the church in the main road. Please
don't be late.
I am not sure what the program is, but you will be finished around 11.00.
Please let me know if you are interested asap. I need to know by Friday 16th at 13.00. (It looks like you will have nice weather for
the ride.)

Hi everyone,
Just a "heads up" ....this coming weekend is Bastille Festival in Franschhoek, if you have not been before please be warned that it can be very busy; especially the main road.
The festival is over both Sat & Sun, please take care. It should not be too bad as you are leaving early and the main activities start from just after 9am.
Regards
Johan de Jager
This sounds like the ride that has been on the news, with Jeremy Mansfield, Morgan Freeman, and many other celebrities. While I don't care about celebrities much, Mr.Badger is a real media-whore and is dragging me out to this event 
.
Anyway, got to contribute my 67 minutes to the community - and if I can do it on a bike with people I know so much the better. Thanks for contacting us Liza!
JdJ perhaps you should warn the Franschoekers and visitors that Mr.Badger will be in town and they should stay home and keep the children inside 
I don't see how this contributes to the 67 minutes of charity, but if it counts then what a better way to do it....? See you there.
PS Should'nt we bring something like blankets and stuff??
The charities that the bikers represent are bringing trucks and who-knows-what. They just want some bikes to swell the ranks of the participating riders and make it more newsworthy I suppose. Also, I'm sure the kids in the township will appreciate the spectacle.
The latest info I have is that when we get to Khayelitsha we will be part of the 67 min and at this stage it sounds like we will be helping to put up a fence!!
Thanx to those of you that responded and phoned me. The whistle has now blown and we are full.
The list is :
Leon
Lourens
Corne
Charles
Wayne and Joe
Dirk
Neel and 2 friends
Sarel and Theresa
Wolfgang
Manie
Awesome guys!! Well done!!!
