Chaps ,
Stefan is quite correct about WFO , polite politically correct name is wide full open , but the actual name the club was christened with back then when men rode off road on bikes with 3 inches of suspension was Wide F#*@king Open .
Some chaps say those words when toiling up hills or paddling through mud and stuff .
The policy is to give a reasonably competent rider on an average bike a solid ride , at an average speed of about 40 km/ hr .
It must be safe and well marked , and as long as you are fit , you will have no problems .
We are hosting a national event at Crieghton on 7 October , please feel free to visit this little farming village and see for your selves .
The events are very popular , because they are well marked and safe . The venues are family friendly , and the sport is run by people passionate about the game , not out there to make a fast buck .

But I urge you to visit .
I am planning to do a ride to the event on friday on my DR , basically the route I rode to get to Himeville last weekend . That will be about 260 km , mostly dirt . Then on the sunday after the event , ride home , some of the way along the route Stefan took chaps this last sunday .
Oh yes , I have actually recently resigned from the board of MSA . Because of the impending move to UK , I am stretched time wise without jumping on planes to Jhb for meetings .
But any one who wants to pop along to watch a real WFO event , you are most welcome .
