Hello there to everybody.
It seems that I have a knack of organizing quiet rides that turn out eventful.
I wanted to go see Middelpos, and chatted with Buzz Lightyear about doing a trip there. He convinced me that we must go via Merweville.
With the help of just a few mapping programs, I came up with this route: https://maps.google.co.za/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=211489569151504177549.00049b13be666cc8ed28d&ll=-32.907262,20.313721&spn=3.749095,4.938354&z=8
Thanks to Buzz for putting it in electronic format.
We all met at the Engen outgoing at 8 for a breakfast. Then I get a call from Krag Kris (aka Mark) that his bike is not starting. (maybe the bike knew what was coming!) At 830 he arrives, and quietly tells me one side that he forgot to put fuel in the bike :imaposer:
We had 2 support vehicles. 1 Landy (and no it did not break down) for pillions that got scared, and 1 bakkie for the pannier bags :mwink:
We also had bikes. Buzz Yamaha XTZ, Rubicon KLR, Geoff with pillion Wee Strom and Mark with Pillion V Strom. (Roost aka Shredder with very brave pillion on his KTM joined us later)
First day was via Baines kloof to Ceres, and then all the back roads to Merweville. On the last pic you can see the few pannier boxes on the bakkie! eepwall:
