Sat 21st KZN Dawgs ride

[flex]

Well what a ride !!!!
Excellent ride lead by that there Mr G - aka "Big G"   
Excellent way to start the ride too - breakfast at the farmers market in Shongweni (what area does this fall under officially?)
5 riders in all.
Flex
Mr G
zacapa
snapper
Clint XR600 (still battling to manage his computer skills on the forum... mmmm  needs a bit of assistance)  eepwall:

The boys getting ready for a bite

Down into the valley and then some random pics.
Tried to show the cut which we came up - a great section of ground road with some track up to this church.

This pic gives some idea of the altitude we climbed up. Have a look at the drrop down to the water in the background

Awsome riding we have on our doorstep here in KZN  :thumleft:
Bit of a challenge here with this little rock ledge  ot:
The pics just don't do it justice - ask snapper..  eepwall:

snapper getting ready for his second run......
talking abou that - I was seriously impressed with snapper keeping it together with all the XR's around. Not the same game riding a XTZ 660 and a XR 650 or XR 600 !!
Well done snapper  :thumleft:

Clint running that pretty XR 600 down the other side - followed by zacappa - or was that Mr G mmmm getting the pics mixed.

Talking about snappers second run - some stats about those that took a rest on some occasion or another.
The rests weren't necessarily voluntary - just a little lie down here and there ...  ot:
The count goes - to the best of my recollection:
flex - 2
snapper - 1
zacapa - 1
Mr G - 0
Clint XR600 - 0

Some of the single track down in the bushes.
Have to get off home now - some more pics to follow tomorrow.  :bueller:

 

[flex]

P.S. I'm already thinking - mmmmm long week-end.
How about a similar, same ? ride next Sat ...........

Good ole KZN...beautiful!

 

[Mr G (David)]

G Whizz, Flex...for somebody complaining about not being able to put a RR together I think you done alright! :laughing4: Just took a while though.........who is Snapper....I thought he goes by the name Offside?  ???(Age I tell you)

Glad to of have done the ride with some KZN Dawgs. I am not going to over elaborate how nice the ride was.....the pics I believe will give a conservative overview of what went down........let me rather say what took place :3some:

 

[zacapa]

I now see how this thing about ride reports works and the etiquette involved - thx Gunda for explanation in other forum post. We must talk about
GPS technology sometime. Here's a few more pics - gotta improve on my photography though!
The pics feature in sequence - Snapper/Offside? amongst a local crowd of groupies, Contemplating essential rubber,
Take1-Scene2 - how will i make a plan to get up the Rock!, How green is my valley, Solution found with man in funny hat looking on.
Thanks a lot to all involved on the day - much fun, dirt, wheelspin, powersliding and compression of suspension was had by all.
When are we going again? This coming weekend?  :ricky:

 

[Mr G (David)]

Ok just a few more.......long weekend coming...whoop whoop! :thumleft:

 

[Bushcat]

:'(Really jealous that i missed this one !!!!!! It looks like you guys had an awesome ride.

 

[Offside]

Thanks all for a great day out.
The bed wetting and crying in my sleep only happened the first night after the ride and my counselor is assures me
that with a few more sessions I will be able to put the experience behind me.
Who knows I may even ride again.
I think an XR would be a great second bike.

 

[flex]

Apologies, snapper was supposed to join us........  but didn't make it (if I remmber correctly)
Offside - your riding was very impressive bud!!
Jeepers those photo's are great, not sure I should bother posting anymore?
How about Sat, only thing is I have people around at 16:00 - will have to get back a bit earlier. Its those after ride refreshments I tell you !!!!    :mwink: My lips are sealed. Maybe I can only stay for one - if we ride Sat again.
What you guys think ?

 

[flex]

HA ha very funny Offside 

Last few pics before I close.
Had to post this one - 2 shots.
Never heard of somebody that needs a toilet role to blowe his nose on a bush ride ..........  :imaposer:
Looks treally pretty on tha seat of that XR600.....

 

[flex]

Some much needed refreshments....
Can't remember the name of this store.
Mr G - how you remember all these tracks is beyond me.....

Last post.
A few pics of us coming out of that brilliant river section, before going over to the Peacevale / Westmead side.
Never been into that area before - could have been in Malawi !!  :3some:

So, thats all I got.
Don't like that one pic of yours Offiside, with me inspecting that back tyre - you can clearly see I'm starting to thin out on top..........

 

[Haplo]

Nice!!!! Looks like a fantastic day

I think that the Farmer's Market technically falls under Assagay.
