Saturday day trip with John Crossedup and Andy 660 to Stonehenge via Katbakkies. Quick lunch and kuier with Henk and return

Thanks for the ride, Robin and Andy.  It was long but very lekker.  No punctures or problems can make for a dull report, but a good ride.

My confession here is that I'd never been over Katbakkies before.  Nobody told me how stunning it is up there.  That was definitely the highlight for me.

Sorry we couldn't stay for the overnighter - it was shaping up to be a good one with all the bikes rolling up the R355 as we went home.  I think the padstal along the way made the road a bit longer for some of the guys!
 
Thanks Robin and XD-up , Riding with good companions is always such a pleasure.
I didn't know that you hadn't done Katbakkies , is very nice doing the other way around too.And a nice road by car.

Glad to hear you guys are back safely.Would have been cool to have joined you.I need a job that is mon-fri.
 
Die Tankwa Padstal. (sorry to hijack your Ride Report Robin)

Heimer saam met Rommel & Piston Pete and let's not forget Wally the barman.
Note the eco-friendly barstools.

That was a killer ride, no punctures either on my yellow cbx250  :imaposer:

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a little 250 bouncing along the R355 towards me.  I even slowed down to check.  Respect!
