The Post Mortem Needless to say I was pretty peeved at not finishing the route as there were may interesting points ahead that we missed out on and, that I had compromised the trip for others. Dave had to slab it back alone while Porra and Doc did pretty much the same thing from Kenhardt. I...

Leg 7 - Hondeklip Baai to Augrabies - 438 km Hondeklip Baai was a key milestone on the trip as the point at which we turned our bikes round back north for the three return legs. Again we were up early and set off after a breakfast made up of an eclectic mix of Garies sourced rations... We...

Leg 6 - Loeriesfontein to Hondeklip Baai - 283 km This section, via Garies, had been eagerly anticipated we were all really looking foward to it as promised to include some technical bits and a foray in the mountains of the Kamiesberg. Notwithstanding the day's riding distance would be...

Leg 5 - Kenhardt to Loeriesfontein - 401km The time had come for the Clanners to part company and complete the rest of the trip via different routes back to their respective bases.. Baksteen and McSack joined the Cape Clanners while Doc stayed behind to recuperate some... our intrepid and...

Leg 4 - Verneukpan - Tuesday Given the magnitude of the first evenings festivities (9.8 on the Richelieu scale) all surfaced late and we managed to assemble around mid-morning for the day's outing to Verneukpan... Porra and Kraai were to do the "Rum Run" in the Bluebird express and cart along...

Leg 4 - The Kenhardt Bash - Monday / Tuesday Eaton and Suzette assisted by their staff are truly great hosts and we were all very chuffed to be back... even the local wildlife, fondly remembering last year's antics, were please to see us... We settled in for a few few quiet drinks (before...

Leg 3 - Kuruman to Kenhardt - 441km After the first two easy legs, our third leg was going to be a longer one so we assembled for breakfast at the crack of dawn.. again it was cold and the effects of the first two days of riding started becoming apparent and requiring a strong coffee jump...

Leg 2 - Bloemhof to Kuruman - 361km Following a fair night's rest (in between Porra and Doc's snoring competition) I woke at 5am out of habit and started scratching about which got Porra up... we decided to prank Doc (the night stalker who only rises when the sun is well up) by shaking him...

Leg 1 - Base to Bloemhof - 387km I had plotted this section of route in Basecamp to run from Joey's to Bloemhof by following the Vaal river from Lindequesdrif, Parys etc... Abre and I had done a recce of this part of the overall route a few months earlier and it is a pretty tame section for...
