So we decided to join Pete in Oudshoorn - obviously the long/wrong way round :mwink:
It became epic because both a KTM and a BM came to a halt! :biggrin:
The Greyhounds met at 5 in the AM and slabbed to PE to meet the notorious route plotter - Wolweseun,we then only got onto dirt on Elands river valley,Ptensie for Brekie and straight into Baviaans.
1)Packed and ready!
2)At the tower above Patensie
3)Breakfast

Bouwers `08 950 Adv decided to run out of gears and only 4th could be selected!! We were on the line to Brenton at Automotorcycleswho advised him to hit 4th,hold on tight and get back to PE - the guys there did sort it, but to late in the day for the poor dude to catch up! :'(
