To all of you that would like to qualify to ride the Paris-Brest-Paris in August 2003 or just want to have a LONG ride to see if you can do it, here's one for you.<br /><br />Cresta Wheelers CC is organising a 200km ride, NOT A RACE, on the 1st of December. It will start at Alan van Heerden's in Blackheath and wind it's way to Pretoria West, over Hartebeespoort dam back to Magaliesberg and then back to Blackheath. The ride will not be marshalled and there will not be any waterpoints along the route. There will be stopping point where you can have something to drinks or have lunch, everything at your expence.<br /><br />There will be cut-off times at all the point along the rout and the final cut-off is at 19:30 that evening. Once completed the ride at the the Blue Goose on Beyers Naude, you will receive a commemorative engraved beer glass filled with your favourite lager.<br /><br />Like I said, it's not a race and average speeds of between 15 - 30km/h is expected. Everybody will ride in groups so that nobody has to finish alone.<br /><br />If you are interested, just send me your detailes and I'll send you names and numbers of the race organisers.<br /><br />I think it will be a great ride to end the year.
