Today JMOL, KALLY, JAMAL, DAVID (BBT - Born Before Technology), KEIRIDER and myself went on a reconaisance ride to see Umthombe Kei. We had heard that the road in could be a bit of a challenge?

My feeling is that it is a bit technical and pretty rutted. The down hill section has a lot of loose stuff (marbles) that could catch a few guys. It was dry today and has been dry in our area for quite a while, not much rain lately. We did come across some mud today.

I enjoyed the ride in and the ride out even more. Coming out momentum is important. Big adventures two up will have to take it easy as it is pretty rough but a lekker ride to a superb venue.

The other guys on the ride today feel free to post your pics and comments here.

I am sure that if the rain stays away (will make the road unplayable) then this is gonna be a great bash.
Herewith a few pics i took today as we broke my bikes GRAVILINITY!!!! (Virgin gravel trip!!)

Enjoy the pics and see you at the bash.
