Over the last two years DS riding has slowly slipped from my interest. Today though I experienced
a little of the glory of what I knew it to be. The essence of man, bike and nature meeting.
It is now mid-winter in the Southern Free State and with the first severe cold-front past lie in its
wake a landscape frosted to the ground. Yellow grass stretching over the horizon flanked by randjies
of black rock the only green Olienhout and Karee trees along the dried-up streams.
From Bloemfontein some friends made their way traveling only on gravel by the old road of last century.
On the farm I waited in excitement hearing in the cold crisp air of a mid-June morning the distinct sound
of BMW and KTM engines working along the dirt road on the far side if the farm.
I will show them today what I think to be the best gravel roads, farm access roads and tweespoor roads
there are in the Freestate.
