Chuck and myself went for a ride on Friday to visit out tjommie Petrus Paulus Hendrik Johannes Jacobus Snyman on his farm.

We decided to go to Alicedale via tar because we weren't sure of how long the ride would tak as we were going via Tarka ish (not quite Tarka) here is the route we took up

Had a great ride on a lot of new roads where you can really spank it

I found a pair of Warthogs on one of the roads and chased it with the bike for a couple of hundred meters, they top out at 38 Kays an hour, and thats GPS speed

We stopped at this road sign, there were none, only a few locals with no front teeth and curlers

We stopped in Adelaide for fuel and also went to Midgleys Hotel for lunch, snake egg and chips, actually was very nice

The road from Adelaide to the spring valley left turn and then down to the farm (Bedford) is awesome, bits of Drakensberg, lady Grey, and amazing views.

As I said, I didn't a lot of pics. We arrived at the farm at about 4:30 and settled down with Peet (cutman) the farmer for a few beers, steak and roosterbrood

The farmhouse

After breakfast we did a little farming. One of the drinking troughs was empty, Peet tracked the problem down to a frog trapped in the pipe, after this was cleared Chuck and I tried to herd the cattle but ended up dividing the herd in two

We also saw a brand new little buck, probably only a day or 2 old, I think its an impala but I'm not sure

PS: We stopped at Nanaga on the way home and I saw this, now that is hard luggage. How much shit do you need to take on a bike trip FFS?

Lekker man - really nice ride & pics.... and I actually do read the words as well... SO I WAS WONDERING...?

"We went the flat rock, made a fire and braaied wors and roosterbrood for breakies, took a couple of autistic pics of the bikes "


Bwahahaha - surely you meant "ARTISTIC" ..... otherwise it's gonna be a seriously Spastic Pic  :mwink:    :imaposer:

Nice pics. I imagine the dominee used a lot of water when he was babtized!! His knees must take a strain under all those names.

The picture is of a young eland, not an impala!  So, my point is, Paulsky is a lot more "autistic" than "artistic"!!!

ja we missed the event unfortunatly, really sorry we did. Everyone is having to actually work now to stay alive. Next year definitly, don't take me off your mailing list just yet
 
I can imagine you guys sitting in the pub drinking Castle and at the same time praying very loud ..."please 'o please do not let me win the cooler box, I have no-where to put it on the bike".

Some WD's drink Castle for the taste, others drink it to win a prize and others, well, let's just say, they are just thirsty from riding.

Good ride report and pics to go with it.
