    Kei to Transkei, and home via Cradock and Amatola Mountains

    Saturday 13th at 6-00am, who's idea was this anyay. We met at the Sasol garage in East London next to the N2.

    Tyres do make a difference. TII rides from experience

    Now with all the trouble from PS and company, certain requests have been made as to the difference my tyres has made on TII.

    TII visits TI's crash site

    Well as they say in the classics, if you fall off a horse you must get back up and ride it, so I took a ride through the Franshoek Pass this morning to humble, and remind myself how lucky I am to be alive and now have TII. For those sceptics, I rode off road yesterday and loved it, but TII did...

    Rat is about to get his new bike

    Well after that Franschoek Pass fall (or shoud I say flight) I don't think anyone thought I would be back up and purchasing another bike. Good news is that I have been paid out and ordered the new bike which should be here in about two weeks, so stay posted for the launch photo. I will say that...

How do they post a reasonable size photo in a report as the Franschoek Pass took me for ever. Please explain the steps for a layman as...
