Hi all. I have registered a while ago and asked a question and was growled by the rest of the pack for not introducing myself. The leader showed teeth and the other dogs baked off. Here is the long overdue introduction. I ride a KTM 690 and due to family pressures and good kitsurfing winds in my vallei, my rides are normally planned last minute, with not too many riders joining in. I do mostly lone riding (I know .......) but have met some of you guys on some rides. I am new to adventure riding and I go slow, by profession I am trained to be conservative and I am deemed a rebel in my profession but I love adventures. My adventure have to date remain around the Cedarberg, Sutherland and West Coast regions. However I did a long trip to the Gariep Dam in December on all the back roads, Cedarberg, Merweville, Beaufort West, New Bethesda, Prince Albert etc. That was a 3000km adventure in 4 days, riding alone. What an adventure! I hope to meet more of the pack in my future adventures and if I go riding, even with short notice I will let the dogs know. There might be another one or two that could join in last minute.
