Just a quick afk@k in the mielie-mud....

[KnopKop]

Two weeks or so ago I did a Recce ride to Secunda for our March Club Ride. Stofstreep, JIMBO, JustBiking, CHorse and Bruno joined me for this ride and it was a great ride.

So, yesterday I took the club GS guys on this route, but in the opposite direction as what we did the recce. I wanted to do the mielefield mud section on the way back, rather than on the way there.

When we went through there on the Recce ride the mud was nothing to worry about, but yesterday it was very different. This is the type of mud where your boot sinks away halfway to your knee!!!! But huge fun!!

Here are some pics:

Here I took over from Olive Oil trying to get the bike through, that is a brand new TKC on the front!!
