Today I decided to test my left arm. I am planning a trip to Verneukpan en June and wanted to know if it has healed after the biceps tore off in March.

Firtsly - I have to disappoint you. I took no pics. I was having too much fun.

After leaving Durbanville, I took Vissershok, Malanshoogte en then the Occultdale road. My bike has been standing for three months. Us both needed warming up a bit.


Slent is interesting thoroughout the year. Corrugated most of the time, sandy and potholed late in the summer season. Always a loose surface somewhere

Today it was a long muddy corrugated adventure, with deep potholes in rows behind one another, in some places there is no line where you can miss them.

One had to carefully pick a line and then just go for it.

I took it toward PaardeBerg, turned around and came back to the Wind Farm.

Then I got this GRIN  :biggrin:


And I did it again.

My first time on the bike in 4 months and it was WOWEEEE!!!  :biggrin:

The arm is a bit weak but not painful. I am happy
