Breakfast Run to Milly's - 7 September

Henk, will you be sleeping at Malaga on Sat evening?

Yes, Henk informed me that he booked at Malaga. We plan to leave with Dave on Saturday at 8am from Atterbury Shell. See you there

Malaga---booked and paid. Nowonly the fun part left

Final arrangements for those leaving on Saturday and sleeping over at Malaga Hotel, Waterval Onder. We will leave 8 am from Atterbury Shell with Dave's group to Badplaas, where we will do some rides, have some fun and have something light to eat, leaving late afternoon for Malaga. If anyone is interested in the GPS route, just PM me your e-mail address and I will send the file to you. See you all on Saturday

We cannot wait. Just hope the weather co operates.

looks like the Mermaid and me are in for the Badplaas overnighter.

Dave, be so kind to email the route to me as well

MadnohB-- Saw your bikes sister in action yesterday. What a beauty Took a picture and I was drooling. Realy very nice and a black one to

By this time i have lost count of who and how many people are going through and making this an over- nighter. As i am leading this ride we cant do so.

Andre can you please send me an SMS during the course of saturday so that i know how many of you are sleeping over that i can add that to the total for Sunday at Millies.

For 6 weeks (the duration of this thread), there was seemingly not a problem to keep track. Now 2 more names are added and all of a sudden there is a problem

what do you mean by this? : "As i am leading this ride we cant do so"

We will be joining Dave, Dorothy, Chris and Golda for an overnighter at Badplaas. All the arrangements have therefore been communicated to the relevant people.

A second group consisting of Andre, Henk, Jester (and his wife?) are having an overnighter at Malaga Hotel.

These two groups will probably ride together on Saturday. On Sunday, both groups will join the ride you are leading for breakfast at Milleys (or where ever).

If it is numbers for the breakfast you are after……..there you have it……..and all obtained just by scanning this topic.

In any event, it is a fruitless exercise to now try and get numbers for the breakfast as besides the 10 people listed above, another 10/15/20 might put their hands up on Friday night......also the reason why we did not see the need to inform you at this stage that we will be joining the breakfast on Sunday

As I read the above, LeRoy says he cannot make it an over-nighter as he is committed to lead the official Club Ride leaving from Pretoria on Sunday morning.
Guys, all we need to do is add all the numbers together that will be converging from three (or more) points at Millies on Sunday.
Each ride organiser (official and private) just ask on Friday night who is going and add them all up...

Have to agree - that is usually the procedure followed at the Club evening - ask for numbers who will be at the breakfast so as to be able to give the venue an indication of approximate attendance - QED

Yes we will hold our thumbs for the weather, but just in case keep the rainsuit handy

Will do if anything changes but as far as I know it is Henk & Jester(2), so we are 4 at this stage. Will keep you posted.

the way I had it as well.........would it have been different this time? - EIC

Lizell and I will not be attending the ride, weekend or otherwise. My knee is only up to smaller trips at present.

I am sure it will be a good one though so all those going must have a good, safe time.

Thank you Andre - that is all i wanted to know - no long stories - just the numbers. I have already made a tentative booking for 20 people - will confirm saturday after the Friday's meeting and again on Sunday after the final headcount.

I am aware of the fact that if you trust the weatherman you can be sold the Brooklyn bridge and if you plan your trip accordingly, the Union Buildings but this is the latest from www.weathersa.co.za. Looks like a great weekend in the making. Cannot wait

Well, let's hope we can trust him this time. Looks as if it is going to be a beautiful week-end. Now we just have to get this week to an end

It seems in total 10 people are leaving on Saturday - of which 4 (Including Andre) will be sleeping in/at Machadodorp. I take it that these 4 will be joining the breakfast. Chunky has also confirmed to joining the group for breakfast at Millies.

With reference to Jamie's posting in page 4 of this thread - how many of the group of 6 sleeping at Badplaas will be joining the group for breakfast at Millies.

6

I will be joining you all in Machadodorp for the breakfast at Millies

Wow, that was a serious piece of mathematics

eish, i did not know that RT riders can be so sarcastic....

I have my moments!

you lot . .

Still contemplating if I should take the 1200 to Milly's . . Will have to see - maybe Saturday - if this plastered hand can handle the bigger bike.
(800 is on the upper margin now with almost 1200km - needs his 1000km service urgently! booked for Monday 8th.)

Till then, don't add me to your numbers LeRoy.
