We had 2 days of incredible riding, organized by Enduroworld in the mountain chiefdom of Qua Qua. We were based at the Witsieshoek resort and rode the tribal regions outside of the Royal National park. Enduroworld have hooked up with 2 local riders and with the locals (Chiefs) blessings take rides in this mountain paradise. The rides are fairly challenging (depending on skill level) and, with this weekends wet weather, made for some interesting riding â?? swollen river crossings, wet rocks, wet off-camber grass, steep ascents and descents are the order of the day. An unforgettable time was had by close to forty riders and hats off to all the guys involved.
Hope you guys enjoy the story the pics tell.

Nice Ride Report, Slick.

I think when it's wet like that, then the terrain changes totally.  But it certainly looks like you guys had an awesome time.
 
Excellent Slick

Pity I could not make it - looks like you had an excellent time
That weather is close on dirt bike heaven - much better than dust

So much to ride, so many places to visit  ;D
 
Great riding around there!  Thanks for the pics - looks like the weather brought a new dimension to the ride.  :eek: Well done!
