Leisurely Ride in the Eastern Free State. Yeah PIC's posted

[Raggety]

Bit chilly. Bit hazy but what a nice morning for Riding.

Me and DeonDj met at the filling station at Paul Roux just before 08h30 this morning.

Checked tyre pressures for dirt.
Oops - front tyre less that 1 bar and no air at the filling station.
Got on the road, turned off next to the township in a South East direction.  Some unknown roads to Rosendal was the goal for the first part of the ride.

Fixed the front pressure with some tyre weld and enjoying the scenery.

Still trying and trying and trying to get the pic's on.

 

[LeonDude]

Put the pics on photobucket and link to them here - it works much better and you can put comments in between pictures too. (It saves disk space to do it that way).

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

Now is a very good time to start using photobucket

 

[LeonDude]

There is a tag at the "Add BBC tags" section that says "Insert Image" (the second tag). If you put those hyperlinks in those tags, the picture will show instead of the links.

 

[Raggety]

Ag sherbet, now I must go and learn photobucket.  Thanx so lank vir die posts Deon.  Nice een daai van die AT so by die klip

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

Raggety in perfect standing position.

AT at the aloe's and sandsteen.

We had lots of fun on the road, dusty and "klippe groei uit die pad" situations, apache sand here and there but lots of nice scenery.

 

[DeonDj]

Wa wa wroom!

 

[DeonDj]

Route from Rosendal.

My sticker.

 

[DeonDj]

Rosendal teater, Chris (Krokkedil) from 7de Laan's place, very nice place to visit if in that area, there were other actors/artists that performed the previous night, the next morning they were Tacuza, babelaas, let's rather not say names but hell they were vrot.
I, myself nearly did an nice crash landing on the melkkanne, my back brakes were a bit sharp and I nearly did an nice slide/crash landing, Raggety was behind me and I just saw the smile on his face.

I am phoning hooome, yes I am ok, yes no broken bones yet, yes I nearly kicked da bucket, the milk bucket thing..

Raggety enjoying the rustigheid

Rosendal is a very nice place, there is overnight places, the life in town is very rustic, every now and then there is an singer, actor at the theater, then people from as far as Jhb will come and attend.
