Ok, so I deceided to do a ride report, well a mini one. I figured that this is a initiation process to become a “true” wilddog.
It is Tuesday 21 July 2009 and I have checked the weather beforehand and decided to take my trusty old lady out to the forest to run her in a bit more after her complete engine rebuild. (she is now on 550km, after rebuild and slowly approaching 1000km) so I took it slow and I was easy on the throttle, eishh but that new pipe sounds lekker if I pull away and “look” to my right.

I started my circle route at Simola Golf Club (a couple of k’s northwest of Knysna). Mapsource told me 92km, but a small section of the road was not routable, for some odd reason. So I packed my mik n druk camera something to eat/drink, gloves etc. Arrived 8:45 @ Simola

From Simola I took a road that will join up with Prince Alfred Pass (connects the Langkloof/Karoo to the Coast)

Newly acquired GPS mount working lekker (Thanks GEE-SH)

Took a turnoff that will eventually lead me to the Wittedrift/Plettenberg bay road. I decided I will visit Angie's Gspot another time.
