I'm probably only getting back the evening of the 18th :cry: But I think a breakfast run / park off will yield better results.

I'm up for the Midnight Run on the 16/17th, will confirm later, have some plans around those dates.

I would like to suggest meeting at McD's on Fourways (near Foursways Mall/Crossing), head up William Nicol , hop onto the freeway then we could stop at McDs at the Oasis on Beyers. Or we could start at the McDs at the Oasis and head down.

To be honest I have been waiting for an event like this. :rollsmile::rollsmile::rollsmile:

@ Coisman, any specific routes in mind.


O wait, I was thinking, how bout we meet up at the Shell Garage on the corner of Church Street and transoranje, then hop onto the N4 (Quagga Toll and run towards Harties.

If I remember correctly the Quagga Toll is R3 and the other Toll is about R4. So that should be R14 in both directions. Lekker road. Used it a few times to go to Harties. Quite nice. Not alot of traffic.



any other suggestions would be appreciated.


Maybe N14 towards Lanseria Airport.

I would suggest we do not drive that piece of road. As nice as it is there are no lights so its pitch black during the night and there are some informal settlements next to the road so on a Saturday night the chances are pretty good that people are running over the highway and the chances are even more likely that they will be drunk. I don't want to hit anyone let alone at 250+km/h.

I like the Western Bypass, very nice highway with allot of lights and almost no cars on there after midnight and there are no fixed cameras so the guys who want to speed can go ahead.

why not start at point and do a looparound jhb,then n1 to pretoria,out on the r21,no cameras there then past airport and back around jhb to the starting point.

even stop for a couple of picx at various garages

would be a lekker midnight run on 16,or 17
