On top of Oukloof is a beautiful Road to Fraserburg. One of the Lummels decides he wants to gun it and we race next to each other at 160 plus. The BMW is far behind because of the "Dust". We wait for the BM 800 and decide we must have a 200 M Sprint. We pull away, the two Ktm's with way too much Wheelspin and the BM promptly crapped on us.Oh the Horror.💩

The Ride to MPos was uneventful, a cold hard Wind was blowing.
Koos received us and we asked him to hand over the Keys to the Honesty Bar which he promptly did. We have known each other for a while.

The next Morning my Bike shows it is 2 Celsius and we have Frost on our Seats. I am in a ****** Mood after having a Shower with a trickle of Hot Water and lots of Cold Water. We head out to Bovisrivier and down Ouberg Pass. Bovis Road is washed out but we eventually encountered a Grader smoothing things out. We arrive on Top of Ouberg with a howling Wind that threatened to blow our Bikes over. We quickly take a Photo and decend. Ouberg is a sight to behold and one of the Team has never been to the Area.He is in Awe.

Our Destination is Cederberg Oasis, it is going to be a long Day. We travel through the Tankwa Karoo with its Roads that are in prime Condition. We stop at Da Doer Padstal for a Curry Mince Javel and a few Cold ones. The Wind is howling and the Fokol grows 10 M high.

We talk about our Petrol situation as we only got 5l for the 990 and 2.5l for the Bm and the 790 at Middelpos. The 990 has a Bladder of 6l on the Back and surely needs it. On top of Katbakkies the 990 and the Bm begin to stutter and they share the Bladder 4/2.

Is it possible to send me the co-ordinates or location of this pic? I have to ride that pass!

I have obviously seen pix of it before but your pic suddenly made me really want to ride it.

We continue to a place called something opi berg and fill up. We backtrack and make our Way to Oasis.
