We had to get a bunch of grade 12's, or rather ex-grade 12's to Plettenberg Bay for the Plett Rage.

At the very last minute it also worked out that my wife and riding buddy could take the day off and a trip was put together.

We decided to trailer the bikes to Plett, of course my S-Ten refused to get on the trailer   :biggrin:

Filling up at 05:00

The view from Du Toits Kloof early morning (a rather "sporty" ride due to the wind)

A few hours later at the Beacon Isle waiting for the monsters to register for their event

Leaving them to set up camp (we also arranged to leave the car and trailer there for the weekend)

From there we set off back to George, up Montagu Pass to Die Oude Meul, our overnight 13km outside Oudtshoorn on the way to Swartberg Pass

We decided to take back roads, heading towards Uniondale, just before Uniondale turn off to De Vlugt, stop ant Angie's for a beer, then over Prince Alfred's Pass back to Plett

But first a stop in Oudtshoorn for breakfast

From Plett it was a long tar slog home but even that was fun after a great little trip

Back home just after 20:00
