A while back we decided to do a quick run to the Cederberge, Iâ??ve never been there before so was very keen to see how it is.

We were only 4 bikes this time:

Me on a 1200GS
Straatvalk on a rented 800GS
Myburgh on a 650 Dakar
Phillip on a 1200GS ADV

An all BMW outing, plenty of time for us to pose and stand up as much as we like, greatâ?¦ OK sorry there was a Honda aswell, apologies:

We left Cape Town halfday on Friday and stayed over both nights at Mount Ceder close to the Ceres side. The other guys took their families with and it turned out to be great fun for all. The girls and the kids followed in SUVâ??s

Ok, but here is the pics of Friday first:

Still some snow on the mountains:

As we hit the first piece of gravel we decided not to risk the beers in the topbox and had to consume them, donâ??t drink and drive hey?

So back at the camp we were pretty tired, but I decided that I should give this new 800GS a shake down. Pretty impressed with this bike:

Thanks to all for a great trip, not a normal bike trip though. The girls sorted us out with some seriously good chow.

Thanks to Ektoknbike for some valuable tips on the area.
