Pack Dog
After a lengthy discussion with my old man over this weekend...
He persuaded me to organize a trip for a few girls. Most of the trips I have been on I instigated and organized myself.
I would like to see what interest we have here in the Cape area for something like this.
I am thinking Anysberg Nature Reserve.
The rule will be unfortunately... no beginners. This is not a skills training weekend. Although the pace will be super comfortable.
I said no training... but I will demonstrate between swimming in the dam and the braai... how a bike tyre puncture is repaired. We will have a draw to whom's bike will be deliberately punctured for the demonstration.
Thus... each girl has to take along the necessary tools to repair your tyre. Wheel-spanner, tire leavers...(spare tubes) repair kit etc .
If it so happens that someone "voluntarily" gets a puncture on route... Touch wood. the demonstration will then take place next to the road... and we can start braaing earlier O0.
There will be no fancy chalets... it will be CAMPING... so manlief has to stand off his camping gear for a weekend... (anysberg has nice ablutions.... and chalets :
)
I will create an comfortable environment with shorter distances and designated lunch stops to make the ride differ from rides with the guys.
perhaps rides like these will persuade many of those girls sitting on the back to start taking manlief's bike over and ride it herself.
There will be a hero on standby with a beeg truck... if I forget how to change a tyre :cat:

feel free to ask me anything about what to pack etc. I haven't set a date yet... it depends on the interest...
