tsssk...tsssk... Impatient boys... Wes is out and about getting the Dakar fixed, meeting up for coffee with a friend and then we're having supper at his folks. I guess you'll have to wait another day  :P

i actually just have more time to be on-line today than usual :P

any idea where drinks will be on Fri afternoon? UPDATE: the_wes and 650DL stopped in De Rust for lunch at about 13:00  Only 500km to go  ;D

LOL... no comment Will tell him L. He's been sending his regards all the way too  ;)

mmm.... I have slightly different ideas, but anyway... >:D you'll just have to wait patiently for the RR!

LOL!!! I'd rather not think about that... (i.e. the ocndition of the bike) SO I lied, here's another update: The two sods had it bad yesterday - riding in rain all the way. Quite a chunk of their route was dirt, which ended up being muddy slippery slides in the end. Needless to say that they...

...and so the story continues. the_wes and 650DL slept over at the Old Mill Inn (Barkley East) yesterday evening. The poor guys were so tired, that shortly after booking in (at about 4pm) they fell asleep. They woke up briefly for supper and went back to bed just before 8pm! This is insane...

Apologies for the long silence... Work got in the way, sigh.  I have also only heard from the_wes again today since Thursday. They've crossed the border late afternoon en route to Barkley East. Form there they're shooting through to Tsitsikama tomorrrow and then possibly home on Wednesday ;D...

Well... life with the_wes is different for sure! Much more quiet and uneventful :angel1: So, the_wes had his 2nd fall. Poor man - if the first one wasn't bad enough, he managed to wipe out on the drive way at our friends in PMB!!!  :-[ In his defence, it is a ridiculously steep, S-shape...

Thanks JonW, but he enjoyed his stay in PMB so much, he only left there at 13:00 today! He says he appreciates it though...

Latest update: After a very beautiful and scenic ride past Rhodes and over Naudé's neck, the_wes arrived in a very wet Matetiele. Quote: "What an anti-climax. This day ended on a downer. Rhodes was so beautiful I want to go live there!" With the very wet, muddy and slippery conditions the_wes...

Just to let those who are interested know the_wes' trip is going pretty well at this stage.  Besides for quite hectic cross winds Saturday and yestersay he managed quite well. On Saturday morning bright and early he left our place at just before 8:00 to go past his folks. This was after much...

Yip, I'm with all of you: I respect my husbbya lot!!! He made a call that probably saved someone's life! As to whether the guy we assisted was the victim... The other 2 were not injured at all. I'm quite open to the idea that there might be a bit of a story behind the story, but the fact of the...

Thank you so much to everyone that was there! I LOVED every second of it!! When can we do this again???
