As usual, the ride planning commenced only a day earlier.
Slick phoned and asked if we would like to join them to a "newer" venue and it only took a few calls and our group was assembled  :thumleft:

The ride today would be in Kwa Mahlangu which is the area north of Pretoria, west of the Cullinan district.
We had a rather hectic ride in De-wildt last week and were looking forward to slightly easier day. This was, as we very soon discovered, not to be  >:D

Arriving at the parking area just after seven and kitting up
AdventureMX, as usual, showing us his designer rods  ;)

My 200 had gone in for some maintenance which included some bearings, oil seals, brake discs, exhaust packing and some new rubber. Nice job AMX - looking sweet  :)

The riding was really hectic and technical and soon we found ourselves sweating like miners in the hole.  :p
Attie was on his "new" KTM 525 and he (including some of us) was really battling with this big bike over the rocks

Tocadisco testing Attie's new ride - but I'm sure very happy to be on a 200

Jaghond had a nasty fall here, but credit to him - after getting his breath back, we were on our way again
