Morning Eye Opener - What a gem of a single track found

[The Badger]

I have been eyeing a route for a while so Saturday arrived and Lamo had just got his brand new GSA, Mike was up from Cape town and Brendon on his 800. I decided it was the time to explore.

This track runs from east to west and it flows over hills and a few river crossings just behind Cato Ridge.

Well, it sure got our heart beating faster. The two 800's were put down a couple of times and lamo managed to toss his new GSA down a bank. Luckily the GSA is a hardy machine. I dont have pics of the falls as we were too busy and pics were the last things on our mind...I need to work on that. heeeheee

All in all a stunning ride. Every one was nice and sore afterwards.

The second pic is where the new GSA was tossed............. Minor scratches and alls well that ends well.

Now thats my type of riding, the tech stuff, need to get back on 2 wheels soon, Is that the continuation of the pipe line ride we did a while ago?

Yes it is 777. just much further along towards PMB.

Missing you on the rides.  

Oh yes Mark, that farmers name from Melmoth is Haydon Percieval....What a rider.

Mark, How is Skiff doing after his off....?

We used to ride with Gary Barton up there as well.

 

[Mark Hardy]

Yip the man can ride.  :ricky: earlier this year I nearly convinced him to buy a 950  >

Skiff is healed well...but stay off the dirt now. Sticking to the superbike thing. Getting a bit old (75 yrs) too go bashing through the KZN mountains.

Hey Simon, No its not. I checked that section out and we cant get through at the bottom of the dip....... about an 10 foot drop off....Pity.
This section starts near the airfield side. Are you up for a ride this weekend??? Thinking of doing a long all day ride and covering distance. Up to Mooi river then through to KransKop then back through a hidden valley... :thumleft:
