Four Frozen Foreskins do Lesotho 2014

[Mikie]

Day 5
The final day was here, some of us were feeling lightly tender this morning. Today we would be back home after 343km, mainly tar and one or two farm roads.

We had breakfast at the hotel, settled out account and headed off, passing Reitz, Frankfort, where the smaller tanks refuelled. Oranjeville was next; they have a really cool looking one way bridge there that crosses over the dam, my first time out there. Denneysville, Vereeniging and then Jozi.

Fall over scratches

Mischiefs

new best friend

Cant take this guy anywhere

Nee man!!!

We were knackered at this stage. But we had a fantastic trip, great riding, strengthened friendships and made memories together. The Frozen foreskins will be doing this type of thing again no doubt.

Thanks Guys for an awesome trip !!

Now before the next one I want to do DP1,  there is still so much I could learn from you and the guy with the pink bike  :biggrin:

;D 

Don't give him a compie!

Very nice RR  :thumleft:
Although it made me dread the cold I am going to encounter to Verneukpan through Kalahari area.
Sure it is not going to be cold as Lesotho but I am going to be in my tent and your pics have me shivering already  :eek7:

 

[Mr Zog]

Lekker Mikie and the rest of the frozen skins...  :thumleft:

Did the hand-guards you made work? Can you compare to the others that didn't have them?

And good call on changing the route and slabbing the tar. No shame in that, there will always be a next time if you make the right decisions.

Um, on the hand guards, no not really, it did work to make my bike stand out  :imaposer:the rear opening was too wide, so any warm air in there is quickly sucked out, the ideal would be doe an opening that kind of seals around your wrist essentially trapping the warm air inside, with enough time I could certainly make it work.

Yep, we will do a summer trip and try the rest of those routes out including the Chiefs trail, although in summer we will have rain and mud to contend with, not sure which is worse

Some of those roads high above the dam sides had me a little nervous, the drops are high and any mistake down there would ensure your bike is swallowed up by that dam, probably never to be seen again, I suspect its pretty deep.
I actually wondered how many bikes and cars etc could be in that dam already

The trick is thermals, and you should be fine I doubt it will get as icy there though

Great trip and fantastic RR

I foresee a "summer" and a "winter" name for the group :spitcoffee:

Say...KTM rider wearing a BMW jacket? WTF?

He had a KTM jacket before we left, but thing was dripping everywhere, just like the bike, which is why he was relegated to the back  :biggrin: ot:

:laughing4: :laughing4:  :ricky:

That's probably where those meerkat tendencies come from. I'm not one to talk though. I ride a BWM and I have a KTM jacket

Dwerg I think we should go riding together....  ot: purists will turn in their graves
