This quick outing came about when my pups decided to swim Midmar.
As it was their first time swimming Midmar Mother Hen thought it best if one of us was there to support and make sure her lil chickens were alright -  :3some:

Pups were going with the school so I had to make other travel arrangements - yeeha.
Quick call to Jimbo and I had a riding pardner  :thumleft:

Trailered the bikes down to Harrismith, more for the ease of the journey back to Jozi on Sunday evening.

We were ready to leave Harrismith by 07H30 on Saturday morning - destination Bergville via Geluksburg.

Hit the dirt straight out of Harrismith and ended up on this very lekker pass.

Fast tar and intermittent dirt saw the two little 350's chomping up the miles. I missed much of the scenery as the pony's were not in a mood to smell the roses.

Topped up with fuel in Bergville and then rode along the canals towards Woodstock dam.

I lost track of all the roads  but we hit a long road section under repair which was quite rough, big piles of rocks and plenty of loose rocks being levelled off by a grader - interesting riding

A fast ride and a few twisty corners brought us to this bridge - recently repaired.
