Oh yes, and guess what that particular cat's name is - she is my absolute baby (yes, I know, you're not supposed to have favourites, but she only loves me; how can I not aodre her in return)

Nice on guys! Seems you enjoyed it. I was sweating like a pig at a wedding in Skelmbos - not a nice place to be if Spikes is out prowling

Ah well...

 

[BigEd]

Mark, me thinks you should come riding with us - we help people up. Then again, we don't choose too technical trails...Lazy perhaps? > >

 

[Andy660]

Thanks to all who came along on the ride.We(Mark and I)are happythat you all enjoyed the ride and the swimming lessons.
We actually hi-jacked Wes`s thread.
Next time Wes, we will have a photographer at the mud hot spots for you.
All though Mark had a good tumble,Wayn H had a more spectacular one.He was in 2nd spot behind me.His front wheel went in the first hole in the water and stopped and his bike overtook him.Pitty I couldnt get my camera out quick enough.
But hats off to all the noobs.They all rode so well,I dont even know who the were.
I am busy with the next ride.Mark and Iwill scout it out.
Once again , thanks Wes for a great thread and thank you all for making it a success.
Andy (XT660R)

yes. next time i take a nap next to my dakkie make sure there's a camera so you have proof  ;D

but don't fret too much, topbox DID get this shot, proving that BeeEm riders can ride mud while standing AND waving (well, giving a 2 finger salute at least  ;D )

 

[newguy]

Classic shot!

 

[Hermanator]

Made even more classic cos he wasn't falling (this time!).

The_Wes, XT660, Mark, Lawerance, Go Girl... And all the many, many other Cape Wild Dogs out on Sunday's ride... Was very leka meeting ye'll. XT660, awesome route... Specially the water slide  >  When ya gonna post that vid of Mark's 9.8 hand-stand-dismount  :happy6:... Classic  ;D  Was happy to be near the front (with no cameras ready) when my black beast decided I needed a closer inspection of mud consistancy      Go Girl... Good on you for showing us why a higher percentage of women competitors finish the Dakar, than the guys... Great riding.

We most definately have to do this more often.
