EC BASH - DORINGKLOOF.

[Matewis]

Ons was Sat op pad Klipplaat toe en het toe op die af gekom in Wilowmore, blykbaar was die persoon op pad EC bash toe maar het af gekom op die Klaarstroom - Wilowmore pad.

Dit is nooit lekker om op so iets af te kom nie, volgens die skade op die fiets moes dit 'n harde val gewees het.

Weet iemand wie se fiets die is en wat gebeur het.

nee hy is ni - sy been op 2 plekke gebreek - been afgebreek - moes al saterdag opereer, en vol krappe en skouer in sy hel ook. shame pics lyk naar

Dis die details wat ek gekry het. Vriendin van my werk saam met hom. Hy is in George in Hospitaal.

Leg broken below knee and just above ankle! Baie seer!

Ja die man klink maar nog in baie pyn. Sy hand en gesig ook seergekry. Tour was saammet hom toe dit gebeur het. Dink die bike het hom dalk getref ook in die omrol slag. Hy self kan nie veel onthou wat gebeur het nie. Gaan maar n lang herstel wees

In the end it was another successful bash. More offs than before, but it seems we all survived. Thanks to all who helped to make it most enjoyable.

To me of course this years highlight was my first real trip in the Kombi, without any issues. See you all, and hopefully more, next year.

Bags worked well :thumleft: very impressed...I used the side pouches to put bottles of fuel in, when I rode to Patensie to get fuel because my brother had run out :thumleft: :lol8:

All the drifts from the western entry were dry! Disappointing! The water-trap at the Doornkloof camp entrance was dry this year which pleased all.

Friday arrives and a last minute decision to go to EC bash and give Gerrad a heart attack and to say hi to TrailBlazer
I bumped into Genie at Patensie and we decided to ride to the bash unfortunately his bike decided to go on strike at the beginning of Biviaans, I doubled back found him an assisted where I could then on top of Bergplaas phoned his son to collect dad and machine
I was enjoying the cruise looking at a lot of game, I went round a corner not fast at all and frightened a buck which decided that jumping into me was a better option than jumping off the cliff
This is the first major off I have ever had, the only other offs I had was on BMW training courses
Well it took over two hours to drag my bike down a ledge and get it up right, unfortunately time was not only thing I lost. I lost my mojo also. I paddled the first part of smithskraal where water was deeper and managed to ride in all way to camp without stopping. Leaving on Sunday was another story I was worse and even had to paddle parts of the driveway out (FOOK)
Heading out I stopped an bitched to TrailBlazer that the road is kak bumpy an twitchy only find out later on that my fork, esa shock were history, oil everywhere, crashbars & seat took a bit of flak also
At camp two gentlemen from Van Stadens on KTM 690’s, I think Neil ( Forgot names , Sorry )gave me some awesome tabs and Dusty gave me tabs , thank you huge for that otherwise I would have been confined to my tent and missed out some really valuable advice from my friend the Riding God Dorsland  :lol8: :lol8: :lol8: >
To the Cape friends great seeing you all again and to Bradly’s, I am glad you never found your syringe and Andy’s kattie.
To all the rest I chatted to, it was great
Few pics to follow
Cheers

'n Paar kiekies van my rit:

Dit was hondkoud toe ek weg is by die plaas. Op Graaff-Reinet begin dit reën tot anderkant Aberdeen. 

Raasgatte in die hoek daar agter.

Hel, dis mooi in die kloof.

Dorsland ,  I mean Master, is that the road that branches of from Smithskraal

 

[Dorsland]

That's the one yes, beautiful tweespoor.  I'll be writing a more introspective piece about that area tonight. 

Beginners like you may want to give it a miss  eepwall: ot: :lol8:
