At some point it seemed like this bash was not gonna happen, but thanx to a few die hard father/son combo's we managed to have a great get together and we all agreed that it is an amazing privilege to do this with our sons.

Gwild and I left together from Durbanville and met up with KTM Kev in Montagu. It was getting rather late so we decided to just stay on the main gravel all the way to Koedoeskloof.

The Saturday morning we all took it real slow. KTM Kev eventually asked whether there is any sort of plan for the day. After some deliberation we decided we are going to the dam at Veldbrand's neighbour.

This innocent looking rut nearly bucked both of us off the bike. Time to redo that rear shock methinks...

Lucky pick...check your mirrors!

Despite the rest of the track being excellently repaired this section is still in the same condition as January this year.

Saw some Oryx along the way

KTM Kev met up with his wife in Ashton.

And a last few.

To those who made the trip, thanks guys it was a lekker chilled weekend and really cool to see you guys sharing your hobby/sport with the laaities. Debi also said afterwards that your wives can be seriously proud of having such awesome dads for their kids. Well done.

Lekker man, that's a cool pic of your son sleeping in your arms, Kev must have earned you a few bonus points with the missus.
