Following from a request by Elmo on this thread : https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=147214.0 , he, Goliath and I met with our 1200's at the Sasol garage on the Pelindaba road this morning. Goliath led us on some wonderful dirt roads to Breedt's neck, where we had our first rest. This was my first time on these roads and I enjoyed every second thereof.
After a short break at Breedt's, we rode down the other side towards Mooinooi and thereafter on some dirt roads to Marikana. We then rode on a very nice tweespoor next to train tracks on the way to the canal roads. Elmo's Superten started giving problems with its electrics and just cut out from time to time. He managed to do some roadside repairs and we continued on the eastern canal roads. However, part of the road was totally washed away and we had to take a bit of a detour. On the way back Elmo's bike cut out again and he decided to cut his ride short and go for home.
Goliath and I then also decided to take the tar road back to Brits and then to Harties, where we stopped at the Upperdeck for a quick drink. All in all we rode about 80km's of dirt roads, but we still have a date with the canal roads as we haven't finished it. Always an excuse for a next ride ... Thanx to Elmo and Goliath for a very enjoyable ride, I hope we can do this again very soon.
