So Misty and I decided to put the new bike to the test now that it has had it's first service. I was doing a caving trip on Sunday in the Ventersdorp area but had forgotten exactly how to get there so Misty plotted us a route to the GPS co-ordinates I had for the cave.
Our trip started at the Shell garage on 14th avenue took us out passed Pinehaven and onto the Dirt just passed the Magallies turnoff - The 230 managed to keep up with Misty on the tar though we never went over 120km. What a fantastic route Misty found - we were not sure what to expect but the roads were really great - in the most part dirt highways with the odd loose gravel and rocky area to keep us on our toes, or should I say foot pegs
We had a ride which gave us Mud, puddles, thick sand, loads of loose rocks and some really great long flat dirt highway where we were able to push my limits to 90 / 100km.
With a detour to Centurion to visit my new puppy my total trip was 479km all in all a great day and a fantastic route – Oh and we found the entrance to the farm and had a great caving trip on the Sunday ;-)
Thanks Misty for another great route and fun ride.
