We had approximately 25 bikes on the ride which was perfect for the marshals to test a new and safer style of departure  from the dealership.

We headed right down South Road.
Left into Western Service Road.
Right at the T- junction.
Left into Woodmead Drive / Kyalami Road.
Right into Allandale.
Left on the new On ramp to the N1 South.
Left onto the N3 South.
Got off the N3 at Linksfeild.
Turned right and straight on into Club street past the Golf club.
Right into Louis Botha and immediately left past the Norwood Police Station
Right at the T-junction and Left at the traffic lights heading towards Rosebank now.
Right into Oxford Road,  through Rosebank and past the Gautrain Station.
Left into Melville Road and Left into La Vie en Rose.
Yanky (manager and partner in the restaurant) took good care of us although he might have been a bit flustered with the extra seats he needed to create.  Due to the sunny weather we had far more riders than expected but the end result was that everyone got seating at the well presented and decorated tables.  I think the guys were a bit surprised by the pink bows on their cutlery but I am certain the ladies enjoyed a venue with a feminine touch to it for a change.  Well done to Eric for making the arrangements on such short notice.
