And perfect it was. 18 of us started - JohnR, JamesR, JohnC, Angus, JohnR, Jurian, Jovan, Kieran, Dillon, DavidM, Derrick, Matt, Anthony, Byron, Keenan, Steven, Willie and I. The ride turned out to be mildly chaotic as bikes broke, riders became separated from the group, and Dillon, who was...

It's Friday at last! Riding on Saturday, not Sunday, screws with one's internal calendar and makes the week interminably long. Despite the dry Sunday morning last week, the threat was real. But I did miss the regular thing. This Sunday is going to be beautiful. Perfect for Parklands.

What an afternoon! Angus took the faster guys, Gerard, Philip and Brendan on a high speed exploration of his latest track. I took JohnR and JamesR on more sensible routes to where we met up with Angus and his lot again. Keiran was left at the start waiting for a friend who was LATE! I cut a new...

Sunday's weather is looking increasingly hostile. Let's do Saturday afternoon. Meet at the usual spot for departure at 13h30.

Peter, Willie, DavidM, Angus, Jordan, William, Desmond, Neil, Anton, CraigR and A.N. Other set off from Rivergate in a determined fashion. Some new little nasty bits were encountered on our way to starting on a new track up to the Collarbone. Here we also encountered the mysterious easter egg...

From Clive. APRIL EVENT POSTPONED After insufficient entries we have decided to postpone this April event. Those who already paid please email [email protected] with your bank details for a refund. Thank you for your understanding. Bugger!

Sunday as normal if there's anyone left in Cape Town. Probably be extra relaxed, with maybe a small bit of track building. No tools necessary.

This is a more "fun-orientated" event than the full-on Rally in September, aimed at giving new Tankwa riders some exposure and training in GPS navigation. Experienced riders will love getting back on those Tankwa tracks to polish their GPS skills. Entries are trickling in. Clive needs accurate...

Sunday arrived (as it usually does) and a crowd assembled. Alan, Angus, Byron, Dylan, Rob, Kim, Caron, Jordan, Bradley, Gerard, Andrew, William, JohnC, Nic, Jacques and Alex came along for a mix of silly tight stuff and some open fast tracks. Most satisfactory. Thank you everyone. This is where...

Sunday approaches ...

A whole host of riders pitched. Let's see how many we can recall. Lance, Angus, Gerard, JohnC, JohnR, JohnR's son James, Jurie, Johan, NewMike, Pieter, Aldo, Kim, Peter, Quentin, DavidM, Pearlie, William and Anton. Andrew (Squirrel) had commitments and couldn't ride. So he came to see us off...

On my way home last Sunday my bike was making a terrible grinding noise. I couldn't see anything wrong and made a mental note to look into it during the week. Of course I forgot until I wanted to lube the chain for tomorrow's ride. I propped the back wheel up and started to lube the chain. And...

My guess is that Sunday will see a good crowd again. Might split the them into manageable sub-groups. We'll see. Usual place for an 8:30 launch.

From Clive: Tankwa Overland Rally April 2024 Date 20/21 April (arriving afternoon 19th). We are hosting a Two Day Overland GPS Rally shortly after Easter, this where people can get to ride the rugged Tankwa terrain and practise their GPS navigation. We will keep formalities...

16 of us, Byron, Ryan, JohnR, Kim, Matthew, DavidM, Willie, The Dennis Brothers, Matt, Jordan, Keiran, Anthony, Anton, Gerard and I set off from the Cipla precinct. Graham brought a brand-new-never-been-ridden-before Sherco 300 2-stroke while his brother Davey rode his old 300 2-stroke Sherco...

More of the same on Sunday. The sand is beautifully firm and the whoops so rideable. See you all there.

It was just JohnC and I. What a lekker ride. Started out with the Anguish and carried on from there. When there's just 2 of you one doesn't stop so often so the kays mount up. Thanks John - that was a good one!

A little mid-week outing is happening Wednesday morning 8:30.

Ryan, Keiran, Anthony, William, Caron, Kim, Peter, DavidM, Jordan, Matthew, JohnC, JohnR and Dathyn joined me for an energetic little ride taking in many of the area's attractions. :LOL: Although we only covered some 20kays it was a good workout! Thank you everyone.

It's going to be warm on Sunday. Bring lots of water. 8:30 start as usual.
