POST ARGUS FAMILY FUNRIDE

The committee is proud to organise a BIG FAMILY RIDE to thank all the relatives of our members for their patience and support during our Argus training rides.

We invite all kids and wives or husbands to join us Saturday 27 March for a nice and easy ride starting from the Waterstone Village.

For the youngest kids we will ride a short 16km route via the Winery Road and around the route of our Club Race and back to Waterstone Village. This safe route will take about 1h15 and therefore they will leave at 8h00. They will get together at the parking of the Waterstone Village at 7h45 to sort everything out.

The other families will ride the Vlaeberg route. This 50km route is well known to all or members and will take about 2h00 to finish. Meeting at the Waterstone Village at 7h00.

We should all be back at 9h15 and will then have a coffee and muffin sponsored by the club at Dulce Cafe. While we are enjoying this breakfast we will celebrate some of our Club Members with their achievements during the Argus.

This is open to all paid up members and includes safety vehicles to follow the kids.

So don’t miss this fantastic family fun day!
