Guys,
I used the following route last weekend. In total, there must have been about 2km of Pothole roads. A couple speed bumps. Its a little bit longer than the other routes, but saves you a lot of hassles.
Stay on N4 and dont get off on R80.
Turn off on Ga-Rankuwa offramp closer to Brits.
Turn right, then left into R556.
Right at road going to De Wildt SAPS, carry on straight until Hebron Road M20. Turn left and you're 2km from ODI...
For those going to ODI for the first time, i thought i would take some time to advise you about ODI and what to take along with you...
Firstly, ODI is about 90-100km(IIRC) from JHB Central. The route to ODI is 20% freeway and 80% rural. There are a millions of huge speed bumps along the 80% rural roads. The roads are not bad, but keep your speed down and look at the road carefully. There are some potholes along the way. Becareful for taxi's that drive 20km/h and dont let you pass or that want to overtake you on the rubble while you slow down for bumps/potholes.
The Xcede guys suggested i carry the following, thanks to their advise, i survived the day - Just kidding, its not so bad but best be prepared.
Due to the fact that this place is an open field with a tarred strip, please carry the following:
1. Something for shade while you not in the car - Gazebo or Hat. If you take a Gazebo, make sure its pegged down properly, it tends to get windy and the Gazebo might dissapear or hurt someone.
2. Sunblock - Lots of it. As there is no shade, you need some protection from the sun.
3. Water/Drinks - You will need to hydrate yourself pretty often as you have to wear helmet, long pants and top. Have a tshirt on and use a thin jacket when participating. Remember, you in a line of maybe 10-15 cars at a time in the heat so you perspire a lot.
4. ICE - To keep your drinks cool and to cool down the car. It helps wonders...
5. Cooler box to keep 3 and 4 in.
6. Food - They do have a little shop that sells chows, but they do not cater for halaal/kosher/veg. There should however be a caterer.
Use it dont use it...
The most important advise i can give anyone, go and give it your all... You will love it!!
Thanks
