I'm glad everyone had as big a jol as I did taking the big bikes through De Wildt.
I was FARKIN! cold this morning, more so that I have ever been, coffee and breakfast at the Wimpy thawed me out and we rode on to the De Wildt Police Station.
We stuck to the "easier" quad tracks the whole way but that doesnt mean it was all the easy.
Our first challenge was the little hill the other side of the water tower, everybody did this just fine.
We then followed the wet and muddy pipeline road up to the start of the MX section, here we lost Welsh who had to go do some things.
A couple of pics of people going through the whoops on this section.
Groenie
Voodoo
Very different on a big bike I might add.
We then followed the twisty, offcamber in places, whooped, sandy (sounds bad, hehe) to the bottom of Coconuts.
Flying Dutchman
Not sure, forgot his name
About here we had a few falls on this section, nothing hectic I dont think.
Then a few people braved the dreaded coconuts, Voodoo, SillyStunt, HHHusky , Runner , Digitaldan and myself rode up to where the rocks flatten out and then back down again, about 800m round trip.
HHHusky goin up.
Followed by me, and behind me was runner
digitaldan coming back down
Voodoo and HHusky reach the bottom.
Sillystunt arriving, notethe cell phone duct taped to the front of the helmet, lets see if we can take you along on the ride down coconuts later on.
From here we went back along the twisty trail, to the main river where we followed the track that leads in and out of the riverbed all the way to the shabeen near Bra Erics.
This is a great section and probably the best riding of the whole day.
Again there were a few bails on this bit, people will tell the whole story as I missed most of it riding in the front.
After a quick beer at the shabeen some guys left and we were 10 left to carry on.
We rode along the side of the riverbed, playing at the on jump and on these small rocky outcrops in the one village.
We also had to cross the river at one stage.
Sillys mate
Flying Dutchman
Groenie
GRIM
HHHusky
Runners mate
We then rode the fast twisties to the 3 fence shop and had a drink and some refershments there.
The end group...
From here we hit dirt road to the tar, then tar all the way back via Erasmia and me and GRIM stopped with Groenie at his local for a final binder.
I had a lekka time as always, I didnt hear any bitching so assume everyone had a jol too, thanks for making it possible. Some guys took a while through some of the tech bits but everyone presevered and got through. Specially Slide on the 1200GS !
Sorry guys my camera was on the wrong setting when we were playing around at the jumps, I only managed to catch this one of Runner.
You must look where you are going! not at the camera!
