Baviaans 1st trip
We decided to do a manly trip , you know the rugged weekend trip where you carry only the bare essentials ,sleep in a tent and eat your food out of tins ,but after feeling the Eastern Cape’s winter cold we swopped this for an over nighter sleeping in a bed and breakfast in the Baviaans. Think we will wait for summer before we prove ourselves to be real men.
Our meeting time was arranged for 8am at the start of the Elands river road just outside of Port Elizabeth. We didn’t want to get on the road to early and miss the views if you know what I mean.
We are ready to leave on a chilly Saturday morning in PE. Yes it is a BMW and KTM standing side by side

The trip would consist of 5 friends on five different bikes. The newest being a 2010 KTM 990 R to the oldest being a 1993 African Twin 750. The experience also varied with two of the riders having only ridden the dirt roads once each but having sufficient off-road riding experience on the plastic bikes.We needn’t worry the temperature showed a great day with 2mm of rain hitting Mossel Bay late Saturday afternoon. It would be a dry ride, remember Eastern Cape is in a drought so there would be no rain.
