[edgy]

So once again we decided to taste the Western Capes riding secrets and hospitality - this is the best bash of the year,and we love it!
Peter,Gavin,Anton,Andy,Andre,Launce,Dean and all the other WC dogs you guys rock!
I`m not gonna write a long RR cause I don`t like writing.......so I will post pics from the various days rides and the others can contribute as they want
Throttle Jockey did a fantastic job of the route planning and we really got to see some new scenery!
7 Greyhounds left GHT at 06:00 on Thursday and arrived in Prince Albert at 18:00 that evening - but what a day in the saddle it was! :thumleft:

Day 1 was full of water crossings. Pic 1 is Big Dom getting a bit squirlly. Pic 2 is Windpomp (just4u) after he dropped it in the water. This water ponged and windpomp dropped and picked up the 1200 bike before I could even take a photo.

After another long day in the saddle (another 12hours), some of us where going to run into camp in the dark. So we decided to shorten the route to Tankwa. We split the group and the faster guy's headed straight for camp. I waited behind and brought the last man home rolling into camp at 7 pm. This is a photo of leecat concentrating to max with a sore tired body and mind determined not to drop the 1200 again. To be honest I did not think I had the energy to assist him lifting that behemoth again.
