Mud glorious mud! At least the three Andy, Pote and Robin who Braved the wet weather and took to the mud roads out to Riebeeckasteel were at least muddied but not blooddied.
Pote and I met at the Engen One stop at 8.30am. It appeared that the most of Cape Town was leaving on holiday as the tills rang a merry christmas tune. We finished a welcome cup of coffee and hit the Zoo road to Wellington.
The closer we got to Wellington the wetter it got but as we turned into Lady Loch Road, there was Andy all smiles and nogal with a rain jacket.
A quick stop and a short discussion on how snotty the Porcelain road would be was soon dispelled by Andy who in his normal cheerful way said: "Well lets go and see."
Wet muddy but bearable and thanks to all the stone on the uphills the road was an easy ride. Also learned from Andy about the stone porcelain kiln alongside the road.
On reaching Riebeeckasteel, breakfast was the first thing on the menu where we met Steven and as usual discussed all the going ons in the world across a myriad of subjects.
After breakfast we swept over the pass and then turned onto the Malmesbury gravel road, which also was wet in places but not nearly as slippery as we thought it would be.
The ride home from Malmesburyon the N7 is never pleasant but it nevertheless got us back in quick time.
Another great ride in the BOland.
