Well, I was waiting for Groenie to start this thread, but the slacker only posted now.
I unwittingly had my camera on video a couple of times not still so a bit of a vark up.
Anyway, bright and early (yes Shark was late) we all had breakfast at the Wimpy, as usual we were starting off at other peoples destination, but anyway we had Funacide there just for breakfast showing off his "gash" and Amstel, both of who could not make the ride.



Off we went on a beautiful dry morning to find the Mud Monster.

Somewhat sceptical so we found dust.

Traces of the Mud Man,

The canal tracks were dry and dusty, so unlike last year, Shark was already muttering about the riverbed and was being politely told to Vark off.

It was quite a gentile scenic ride, with me playing sweeeper but with little to do.

The mandatory smoke breaks, even without Funacide were evident.

There had been mud during the week but not much left.

Another smoke break, these boys are health nuts?

We did not find mud, but we found water, as sweeper you dont get much chance to catch the action shots, but a wet and muddy pig, at 40kph.

An early morning refreshment, with lots of LOUD MUSIC!!! THis was where Shark achieved acceptance of his River Bed plan.

This colour green was brighter than the KLR!!! maybe we will find mud.

Smokebreak, just after Klippies put the 1100 down, only a broken indicator lens clip, though.

Quite scenic, but I knew what was coming.

It looks quite innocent, but turn right into the river bed and grunt.

Sharking cruising along,

Blouvark already worried.

Not a bad start, but not up on the pegs.

And off goes the Dakar,

As you can see, the sand is trying to get a grip on the DAkar, just staying on top??

No stand required,

No not a smoke break, the boys were tired!!!!!!!

Groenie man down!!

The Dakar in a dead end in the rocks

we may not have found mud, but the Pig was looking as it should, I lost a bolt from the screen, hence the insulation tape.

Believe me, the beers went down well later!!!
