Yip this will be my first solo adventure of this kind. Meeting up with people every few days though. Now it is just a waiting game until I can leave!

Time constraints are the main reason, I have to get to Sabie, Hillcrest and Port Elizabeth on certain dates for family commitments. I would love to do even more on dirt but time is definitely the limiting factor!

My review (and pictures!) of my F800GS! Only had her since May, but what a machine! https://www.onanysunday.co.za/posts/bike-review-2017-f800gs/

A couple weekends back I took the new GS from Cape Town to Swellendam where a friend had stashed my dirtbike. A 500km round trip all for a 3 hour dirt ride, but totally worth it! https://www.onanysunday.co.za/posts/Back-on-bike/

I am also thinking of writing up some of the training and bike setup activities I go through as the season progresses. It seems there isn't too much out there in terms of 'training for races' so hopefully that can help some people. I am pretty clueless with the bike setup so that will be largely...

Before and after!

Round 1 of the CSMX Western Cape Enduro series was brutal; I slogged it out in the McGregor heat for almost 4h30. But before the blisters had time to heal, I came across an advert for Round 2 of the Western Cape Off-Road series. I have done a fair few enduro races in my time, but always shied...
