So Growweblaar and I were planning to ride out to Darling on Sunday morning, apparently he knows of some nice dirt roads between the R27 and Darling.
However our dear friend Growwe came down with the flu (a likely story :roll: ) so it was all me, and the_missus of course 8)
Since I don't know the area too well, and it was our first ride on the "open" road on the Dakar, we skipped the dirt and headed out to Darling the long way round, via Philedelphia, Malemesbury, etc and back via the R27 accidentally (we were on the R307 towards Atlantis, got lost in the vicinity of Atlantis, drove around in a spiral and got spat out on the R27).
All in all it was a fantastic day, the_missus thoroughly enjoyed herself and told me we should be doing this every Sunday 8)
We stopped at Evita se perron (see, I have some culture, actually the_missus does) but they were closed due to power cuts for the whole day!! :shock: luckily though we found a farm stall that was open and had some koek en koffie
On the way back we even took that short piece of dirt outside Durbanville (off Vissershok) just to see what it would feel like, and what fun we had!!
filling up and pumping tires:
1000!!:
fixing the hair:
hair beyond the point of fixability:
darling is such a chill place, view from the farmstall:
how to ride a BMW, lesson 1: posing 8)
