Well this was a  more casual scenic ride which started in Westville. We followed the Old South Coast road to Umzinto. The roads where quiet and a pleasure to be on.
;D
From Umzinto we headed inland following the route & waypoints I had set on my Garmin 401. (They worked , thank goodness). This was a test for me to check the ability of plotting a longer ride with the Garmin and my understanding of it. :lamer:

I must say where I thought it would not be necessary to put in waypoints on the latter part of the ride was where I really wished I had put some in.  ::) None the less all worked out well.

We settled in for a lunch at the Richmond Country Club....well priced. :thumleft:

After lunch we set off to Eston, Marianhill and safely home. Thanks for joining in on the ride. I do believe there is a lot of exploring still to be done out Umzinto way. Enjoy the pics..
