Ja so the long awaited get to know all trip finally happened. Early morning we met at the Pinehaven Garage, and met everyone, and greeted friends already met on previous rides. Was an excellent turnout - 15 bikes in total, with the KLR's (3) being th ebest attended. Actually there were two of each, except for the lonely AT of Gideon & the KTM of a guys who's name I have forgotten.(Sorry man - but he's not on this forum yet)
Wino was in charge and soon we set off for Breedtsneck and whatever challenges awaited us there.
We stopped near Magalies as one of the okes had to offload his KTM (motoX) bike as it was not road legal.
Unfortunately is was a K@k To Maintain, so the bike wouldn?t start
so the owner tried towing it behind his bakkie???..
and eventually this had to happen ??..
Well he got his bike going and we set off to the imfamous Breedtsneck Pass
The view from the top of Breedtsneck
The route we wanted to take looked rather daunting so Shark, Wino, Digital Dan, Louis & the guy on the KTM went to down to see if we?d get through.
The route was tough, even the KTM couldn?t make it. Getting the bikes out of there was a moerse job with lots of spills & sweet
Sharkie mis-treating his KLR
while the rest of the crowd anxiously watched from above
After all that we had to take a break
From there we decided to head back to the canal 2 route and ride it in reverse sequence back to Harties. Sun city was somewhere in the vicinity?
but we were in biking Utopia?.
Grootseun fixing his chainguard
The route along the canal was dry, no mud except for a few spots, but the grass was shoulder high when standing. Believe it or not ? there?s 13 bikes behind me somewhere in that grass?
Smokebreak
This is either Wino or Frinze finding parking inside a old ruin
Grootseun sporting some real estate he?s purchased J
While DigitalDan was sporting some serious makeup (onderlaag)
Gideon also joined in the makeup fun?
Eventually we got to Upperdeck where we all enjoyed a hearty meal.
Harties had one of the sleuch open, so some lovely green water was flowing out the dam
??and that?s all from me.
Sure more photo?s to follow from the other guys.
