TG, Cast needs to be on for 2 weeks before I go to see bone dr who fortunatly found my miss placed thumb which prevented the need for an op  ;D
Will take losts of comfrey so I can still ride to the Groot M bash  :thumleft:

Good stuff, wouldn't want to miss another ride with you... but on the other hand you seem to be too much of a wild gal. :patch: My reputation is at stake between you and Misty.  :imaposer:
 
Waiting at our 1st big stop.  It was here that we eventually found out that Cavegirl took a dive.  However she made through to this point but decided it was better to go and have her hand checked out.

By now we had crossed the R21 (airport highway) and we were enjoying a nice little sprint under the power lines.  This section could have made for a brilliant little time trial.

The trail took a turn and we then headed towards train yards in the Bapsfontein Area.  This section we rode all the way along the railway lines.  Every now and then you would come across a tricky section.  It actually wasn't that bad!  Came across some cyclists and even some quads.  You can really move along these railway lines.  The only thing was that the dust was real bad at times.

Here's my scoot getting some exposure!

Here are some of the others making their way along the railway line!

After running out of time we hit the tar roads to Cullinan.  We stopped over at the Lemon Tree for some lunch.  I must say the special was rather good.  Just an old fashioned burger, chips and coke.  Amazing how well something like that goes down when you are hungry.

Getting a quick pic just before we left for home!

TG - what do they say "If you can't beat them, join them!!"  :biggrin:
 
The bone that is broken is the 1st one at the base of the thumb - that soft buldgy out bit - must have hit the handle bar/mirror on the way over/down  ???
TG - Me Wild ..... never  :biggrin:

No Heavens.... I don't think I have the guts to keep up to the two of you.  :peepwall: I'll just hobble along at my steady pace.  :biggrin:

Hey there... has it ever occurred to you that if you beat up your bike it will throw you?  :imaposer: Mayne you should you talk to it nicely like some people do to their plants.  :pot:
 
Thought of joining the WD ride on Sunday as I needed some practice for the training day on 30 August - but you were leaving too late! ;)

My riding partner needed to get back fairly early because he still had to drive to Durban on Sunday, so we left at 7am.

Some of you may recognise the views. ;D
