Thank you Ian.

Back at home.

Could not resist a photo of this. I **** myself when I tackle some of the roads I have ridden, but it is figuratively speaking.

My Dogs of War Military Veteran's Association friends, and my brother, Reuel, who met me at Marilyn's in Tsitsikamma Village and then escorted me to Jeffrey's Bay, where we had some "kuier tyd" at different venues.

You always have to stop at the top of the pass before you head through Wilderness.

At times you would be above the mist, and soon after just be back in the thick of it. Eventually the sun broke through and visibility improved. Then the taps could be opened, I had a deadline with some friends in the Tsitsikamma.

03 August 2021 It was an early departure from my boet in Cape Town, stopped off to see my nephew and then it was a cold and misty ride all the way Riviersonderend. It was crazy, sometimes I could barely see 30 meters ahead of me, so it was slow going. Everything was wet.

I got hold of my mate, Charlie Skeen, who I had met in Livingstone and he was in Moorreesburg, so I stopped off to see him on my way to Cape Town. Brandon's sticker was still on the bakkie windshield. Then it was off to Cape Town to surprise my brother, but the GPS completely sent me in the...

Riding solo is something you cannot explain to anyone. You do it or you don't, but you experience things and places that most people never will.

The previous photo was taken prior to a ride to Lesotho. This is how we went up Sani Pass, 2 up. I was told that I am crazy, I was sent videos of bikes falling, but I was adamant, and I made it without going down. Stopped at a Provincial Traffic Department weighbridge, all in 535 kg. Now...

Skrik van Rondom Padstal, I have no idea where the name came from. I was told that there was no bill, all expenses paid for. Thank you Hennie. The staff were amazing, Anja, Jerry and Toela. Sticker no 72 was put up on the entrance display cabinets.

The previous day, I went to the petrol station to fill up, but despite their working hours sign, they were closed and I barely made it back to Goudkop, Matilda actually died on me about 300m from the farm stall. A bit of shaking and she started and got me to the chalet. I spoke to the staff at...

It was time to leave Goudkop and head for Cape Town. Sticker no 71 went up with an amazing view from the Lodge. Then it was off down to the farm stall.

02 August 2021 I woke to a chilly morning, but the coffee view was amazing.

I had access to the kitchen, where the potatoes were boiled, the fire was ready, braai time and I enjoyed some fine SA cuisine.

Another amazing sunset.
