Friday morning left the big smoke at 6 with Corrie aka Cornelius aka Trilwillem ("TWM") trailered the bikes to Bloem had a beer. I only took two photo's on the whole trip so Oetie promised to post some.

Stopped in Winburg bought 6 beers for the road. Arrived in Bloem and met up with Oetie, had a couple of Brutal Fruits before we started our trip. Jaaged to Petrusburg started drinking Klipdrift at the Petrusburg hotel, TWM had some Captain's and even Oetie had a beer. O'ja took my two photo's here but was so shocked to see Oetie having a beer immediately decided to pack away camera.

Jaaged baie vinnig to Koffiefontein met baie Wilddogs had a couple more there. Then left for Vanderkloof. Ran out of petrol 1 km before the town and then arrived at the campsite, met moer baie Wilddogs there and had an epic night.

Saturday morning arrived at 8 at the grootmensapteek only to be informed that they will open at 9. Ribbok restaurant opened at 08:30 but only started serving beer after 10. Left for a farm close by saw a herd of Black Springboks that will make our coach Div's mouth water and sort the quotas out for ever. Only had three beers before returning to town at around 12. Ha a massive afternoon with TWM at the Ribbok. Left the Ribbok at around 6 or 7 rolled around in the dust to show that we travelled on gravel and joined the bash. Things are a bit of a blur from here.

What is the moral of the story - If TWM and I do not learn quickly how to travel on gravel gaan ons onself dooddrink.

Sunday left campsite at 7. Starting to figure out what will happen if you puke in your helmet. At some stage we arrived at Winburg just thereafter I started crying softly in my helmet. Arrived safely at home at 2.

Thanks to all again for an epic bash.
 
I left for Bloem on thursday, had a lekker rustige ride. Slept over at my brothers place and waited for the hooligans Gina and Corrie aka TWM.

They arrived late in Bloem and we only left for the bash at 12:30. 1 stop was Petrusburg for some refreshments. Here I already knew that the weekend is going to be tuff as I knew the capacity of my travellers.......

I was phoned by the Vanderkloof police during last week. They wanted to know what our plans were and if we expected any problems. They were concerned that they might have to arrange extra policing and put people on standby for the "rally" that is coming to town.

Saturday morning some of the workers at the resort asked my what time the mass ride and wheelies and tricks were going to be inthe main road.........

I only truly understand what all the queries werea bout when I heard from Plottie of this warning notice on the Mica door in Vanderkloof. I had to stop and take a pic Sunday morning before we left  :biggrin: :biggrin:
