I cant find a time on there anywhere?

Normally meet around 8am leave at 9am

sorry about that but final details will be posted as we get closer to the day matey.

Usually we post up the time closer to the date but because you are coming up from the South, I would plan on arriving no later than 8.45am at Shell Westgate for the pre-ride briefing. Most of us will start meeting up there around 8.30am, leaving @ 9am.

Everyone will need to be fuelled up and ready to go by 9am.

We have 5 unregistered riders. 15 members coming so far.

Accomodation bookings is very important.

There is a spare bed going in Pumbas/Outforaducks cabin if somebody would like it, just get in contact with them.
