Day 4.

Day 4 covered a total of 455km. We left early from Elliot and travelled via Otto Du Plessis and Joubertspass to Lady Grey and then on to Bloem via the N6.

Again, this was a perfect day for riding. We also had no issues with the bikes so life was filled with biking bliss!

Playing around in the water...

At the summit.

And then we were off again.

My trusty el cheapo Nuvi that led us all the way.

Leaving the pass.

Doing the Kraai Rivier pass.

And turning off for Jouberstpass.

Again some cattle, but this time round they were on the other side of the fence.

And again, the summit.

It would seem that they underestimated the power of the wind...

We filled up in Lady Grey and took tar from there on homewards.
We stopped at Aliwal for some steers.

And hit the road again.

And so we arrived home after one fun filled weekend!

Looking back, and past the issues we had, I would def try and make a trip to Tiffendell and Tenahead in the not so distant future, as those trails would be awesome to do in better weather. I was more and more impressed with the little beemer every day, but once I put my leg over the 950, I knew why I chose her!

[zagser]

Thanks for all the compliments!

Already starting to plan the next one...  :mwink:  :ricky:

Belive it or not, that little beemer was my first real bike, and also the bike that got me into DS/Adventure riding. So although it does have its limitations, I will always have a soft spot for it.  :thumleft:

Thanks for the use of the F658

What a great weekend. Well Saturday afternoon I felt slightly different about it, but Sunday it was all good again.

I am really impressed with the beemer. At times I thought how the hell do you want me to get up there, but yet it completed the whole weekend without major issues.
