Long weekend ride

Day1
It seemed like the weather and the planning all came together for a great weekends riding. I set of from Robertson and rode trough Montagu sanbona and left of anysberg to touwsriver to meet up with ronny, Daniel, chris and fabritzio at the hotel. From touwsriver we rode anysberg and back roads to rooiberg pass that we hit in the dark to Uhuru at Calitsdorp springs where we set up camp next to whe warm water.

Day 2
Rony and the guys went on from Uhuru to Kareedouw and baviaans and I went to calitzdorp to meet with Generaal and karooseun. We then rode the back roads to swartberg pass and on to Prins Albert for the rugby. We camped in the caravan park for the night.

Day3
From Prins Albert we rode a stunning back road to Beaufort West that took us 3 hours sand, sand and more sand. We then said goodbye to karooseun at the spur and me and generaal rode to Sutherland, had to do rommelspass in the dark(not fun). We got to Sutherland at about 18:30. Luckily we got some place to stay at the hotel for the night, at –9 we decided camping was out.
