We with scramblers and quad bikes cannot touch the open road so we found a place called Riet Vlei last year January. We
decided that our friendship group with all our bikes will make a trip to the popular farm. The Rietvlei farm is situated near Dana Bay. The farm contains a long 11 KM enduro course (if it's not longer) for quads and proper scrambler bikes. The farm also contains a oval track for racing purposes. There are also kiddies track on the farm as well. I took my Yamaha IT 200 and Kobus took his Yamaha Blaster 200 (not his Vuka this time) but a proper quad bike. This time it was no playing games but serious off road day.

You won't believe that Stefan was riding a 1975 small enduro bike that eventually pulled his blaster out of the mud

Well there are quite a number of obstacles that you encounter at the farm. Look at this thing. We had to go over the obstacle


This day ended in Broken bikes and a lot of spending money that would be wasted fixing bikes up. I've broken my handle bars because i couldn't go around a sharp corner too fast and decided to jump off the bike while the bike was speeding ahead for a couple of seconds without me off a cliff. It took at least 2 hours of my time to get my bike out of the ditch. There was no one riding the difficult part of the course so i had to get my own bike out of the mud. Well this was a highlight of the bike riding 2009 year. Hopefully this year will be a cost effective year by focusing on long distance trips without pulling stunts that might cost us money to fix
