While i was forced to parade the travesty of justice that had been inflicted on me the night before.

Ironically, my family were all in favour of this demeaning turn of events. They said the pink panties made it easier to spot me amongst the rest of the rabble. I elected to keep this sentiment to myself.

Just before dropping down towards the Buffelsrivier we stumbled on a huge granite boulder. For once, there was unanimous agreement to join Craig in his never ending quest for rocks to climb. Approaching it from its top swayed matters in this direction. However, once there it took all we could muster to dissuade Craig from shooting off down it, to get back up in the proper manner.

From here we dropped down towards the escarpment of the Buffelsrivier and a mean decent. The riding was sublime.
