Pom put a "Planning a ride" request out and got some responses. We gathered at "Bikers Warehouse" in Allens Neck and only three pitched up. Agreed departure was 08:00.
We left at 08:15, Pom, Hidelgo and myself and as no route was planned, I made the suggestion that we do the canal 1 ride and when we get near the end, we can ride to wherever the road takes us. We decided that between 10:30 and 11:00 we would turn around and head for home.
We followed along the canal until the outskirts of Sonop and the took some road which bypassed some Platinum mines, Ferros Chrome mines and even a route down some farm road which got us N4. During this little off road ride, I got a piece of fense rebar wedged between my rear caliper and wrapped around my rear wheel. Attached pic is the bar.
Pic 1 - stopped for smoke break along the canal
Pic 2 - Platinum mines in the distance
Pic 3 - Ferros chrome mine
Pic 4 - Metal bar
Pic 5 - Little off road route to N4
