Bakenkop Charity Run

Tickets (R150) for this run will be available at Club night, 1 August.

It is a Charity Run to raise money for parents not able to pay school fees.
The route will take riders to Harties, Brits & back to Centurion on Saturday 30 August.

Breakfast - afterwards at Bakenkop Laerskool - a beer and badge are included.

Who wants to take part?

Have diarized this - i reckon this is for a good cause - who else will be attending this. Cant have only 4 people turning up for this - Dani, Marius, myself and Elsabe. Lets see how many club members will be taking up on this. LeRoy

I am always game when it comes to a good cause. Any idea what time?...Andre

Andre, their plan is to start at 6:30 from Laerskool Bakenkop in Wierda Park.

Should I negotiate with the ride leader - maybe our Club can join them on the route and avoid a too early start?

Those that are closer to the school than to Atterbury Shell, can obviously join them from there.

Although it is end of August and practically spring so chances are that it can be a beautiful morning for riding.

Good idee - lets get together somewhere and ride there and arive as a group. LeRoy

I am an early bird, so 6:30 is not a problem, and I agree, end August is a beautiful time for an early morning ride. Let's co-ordinate and meet the group somewhere on the way or at the school, whatever the majority decision....Andre

LeRoy, I will not be able to get to the club meeting on Friday. Will you be able to get me a ticket please. I will give you the money on Sunday when we go on the club run...Tx...Andre

Ok - will do. See personal message on the forum. LeRoy

Can we still get tickets after the Club meeting in case someone else is interested?...Andre

Yes of course. I can easily get from the organisers.

That is great. I will be in touch if I need more.

Congrats - is see you have upgraded to slowcoach - no longer a paddlefoot.

I have 20 tickets @ R150 'up for grabs' for our Club members.
Several other clubs showed interest as well.
I understand from the organisers that there might be different routes for Superbikes, GS's, CLASSICS, etc... depends on who shows up.
Will communicate more detail closer to the time, but it seems to be a great day to attend.
If you can't be at the Club night tomorrow, contact me (PM or email dani@bmwclubs.co.za) if you're interested to purchase a ticket.

Dani - i will take 3 - myself, Elsabe and Andre. Request from him.

Great. Not sure if pillions have to pay as well - will let you know.

Yep. Every person with a ticket can have breakfast and a badge.

Not very much into collecting badges - nevertheless. Congrats on reaching SBD status - quite a few us now.

Dani - maybe you should post the details of the ride on the web - the doc you sent me earlier. Secondly - i would like to challenge all Club Members to support this ride as it is for an extremely good cause. Cannot believe that there is no support for this worthy cause in the club.

I support your view LeRoy. It is early enough on a Saturday, to show our support and still be back in time for the week-end shopping, rugby and braai if we so wish.

Agree, only 8 tickets sold. The document with the details about the ride was sent out to everybody on my BMW mailing list - approx 250 addresses, but will post on the web again.

OK .. enough said for now - going out for a ride on my 800GS NOW!

You lucky you I think the new 800GS is a lovely all-rounder. Enjoy the ride

Andre - only 4 to go for your next status upgrade.

Yes and with this reply, I have finally promoted myself from slowcoach to biker. Sounds a lot better I must say. Still a way to go to your status, but we will keep working on it

Yes and with this reply i have just upgraded myself to Longhauler. Regards.
