National Braai Day arrived and it was great adventure weather, but was going to reach a scorching 30°C out Brits way.
I arrived at the designated Engen Garage just before 8am and was greeted by 2 WD's: Wild Woody (New BMW 800, what a lekker bike) and shjakadi (Husqvarna Terra), a few minutes later Titanic pulled in on his KLR. TrailBlazer (Transalp) and his wife Antigun (KLE500) pulled in about 15min later.
The plan was to take the western canals to Beestekraal, Jericho Rock and the eastern canals back to the meeting point at Harties. Everyone here....let the ride began, me taking the lead on my DR650. We made our way around the western canals without much incident, besides my few navigational blunders... :-[ and some huge granite blocks in the path...
Antigun being helped around one of the blocks...
We enjoyed the lovely gravel highways and eventually made it to the tar section to Beestekraal for a much deserving bite to eat and refreshment...the place was packed and the food was good as always.
A bunch of sidecars pitch up, what beautiful machines. :drif:
When everyone was sufficiently full we made plans to head for Jericho Rock...it was HOT!!
