I was really looking forward to riding again, it must have been a two months since my last proper ride on my DRZ. Louis mentioned the ride to Loskop to me so we decided to join in. I must admit I do not like big groups, nothing personal but sitting in blinding dust and doing 140 km/h tar sections is not my or my bike's favourite past time 
But it was great seeing some some of the forum guys again - Leo, Funacide, Excalibur, Louis were all there. Even met some new members like Rooibaard on the KLR. Nice to see some KLE's as well.
I'll start my trip at Loskop as it was here that I rode back to PTA on a solo run. The Loskop stop was great, nice place to eat and have a break.
On the way to Loskop having a quick stop for a pic, KLR and DRZ.
The dam wall, nice to see it overflowing in winter time.
Killer KTM on the ride, nicely customized 8)
Heil adventure riders !
Some nice facilities at the resort, heated swimming pool, bar, restaurant. Nice place to go camping for a weekend.
Louis getting his money's worth at the restaurant, seconds anyone
The guys decided to go back via the Dullstroom road but I decided to head back roughly the same way we came accept I took in some new dirt via Balmoral towards Bronkies. Offcourse I had to take the DRZ trough some "alternative" routes in and arounf Loskop dam. Most ended in dead ends but it was fun !
The dirtroads were easy going, only some sections had some rocky sections but nothing to really slow you down.
Hey look some stoffdonkies
A whole heard in fact, luckily they are lazy so no real chance of them darting in front of you.
Wintertime and the veld is "vaal" but the views are still worth a second look.
Heading towards the Zusterstroom road, easy going on newly scraped dirt roads.
A river is always a good excuse to stop and take a pic. This was the Leeufontein river.
My last dirt for the day was the Balmoral stretch which had some sandy patches, loose rocks, bumps and some pshyco local drivers. Some more water, can't wait for summer to turn the country green.
On the way to Bronkhorstpruit
Got home late in the afternoon all dusty and pretty tired but it was well worth it, might be another month or two before I will be able to ride again. Thanks everyone, see you next time !
