2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted November 20, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I would recommend dong the 179km route, On the long route the first 50km is riding on cycle tracks(2 abreast with traffic calming)/main roads escorted by police motorbikes in the dark. You have to leave about 4am? to cycle to bus then have 1-2 hours coach to start, done this twice and probably the worse two hours on a bike, followed by 179km of perfection. Skip the bull and enjoy the real route. Iain67 and Lc1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted November 20, 2019 Committee Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi Ramsay, remember you need 10secs clear at the top of the Bosberg to stay away to the finish.

2023 Subscriptions martin Posted December 4, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 23 hours ago, George said: Any word on the digs? Hi George, good timing with the question. Got a reply from our landlord today to confirm the hostel is available and now has our name on it. We have two weeks to pay a deposit to secure fully. It's all below: base price for three nights is 1750Eu, plus 150EU cleaning, 60EU gas and electricity 80 - 100EU. So just over 2000Euro, and currently we have 13 (maybe 15) Jets and 3 wheelers (you, Linda, Tommy) = 160Eu a head. If we add more people the price per head comes down. Alan T, Dave and Carol are all candidates. Am also toying with inviting some of our friends at Hetton Hawks youth cycling club - the place can take up to 32 I think. There's a link to the property in his email. The pics don't really do it justice, as any of the crew from last year will tell you. It's just a k from the Haaghoek too, for cobble practice. ================== Hello Martin, I’d be delighted to welcome you and the Johnstone Jets and Wheelers cycling club again next year! The weekend of April 3rd to 6th 2020 is available. Conditions are the same. The rent of the house for a long weekend (3 nights) is 1.750 EUR. If you want to reserve, your reservation is complete and definitive from the moment the advance is paid. If requested, I can give you an option on this weekend for a period of 2 weeks. If there would be an other request for booking this weekend, you have the first chance to make your booking complete by paying the advance. The advance (875 EUR) has to be paid on bank account IBAN BE35 7363 0102 7137 BIC KREDBEBB (see details below). The second part of the rent (875 EUR) together with the warranty (500 EUR) and the cleaning cost (150 EUR) has to be paid 1 week before your weekend. The warranty is paid back 1 to 2 weeks after your stay with deduction of electricity, gas and eventual damage. The cost of gas is fixed (60 EUR), cost of electricity is according to consumption (0,50 EUR/kWh, normally around 80 to 100 EUR a weekend). When leaving the accommodation, tables must be clean, chairs must be put on the tables, the diches has to be done and the kitchen must be cleaned up. The rest is done by a cleaning company. For your information, you have to bring your own bed sheets and duvet or sleeping bags (pillows are provided). You also have bring your own towels. The kitchen is fully equipped, sauna is available. There is a storage room for the bicycles. Smoking in the accommodation is forbidden. Outside you can smoke. Animals are not allowed. You can also have a look at our website (unfortunately only in Dutch) www.buikberg.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
