The bestest road I have ridden in a long time.

This morning dawned with a promise of rain!

Had to travel to Maeyaeyane (+/- 60 km west of Mafikeng) to assist in the coupling of taps for garden irrigation. As my Office is still in Lichtenburg, I decided to take the bike and meet up with the technician in Mafikeng.
We traveled via the Bray tar road and turned off at Makgobistad, towards Maeyaeyane.
I quickly helped the guys to get going and when I left had a look at the GPS and decided to have a look at this road which I have not traveled before.

I was just getting up to speed and was confronted by this gate :mad: This does not bode well. Wondered if I should turn around, but decided to press on.
It was the last gate. :D :D

Looking back!

A few kilometers later the road turned into sand  :eek: But it must have rained last night, as the sand was just right. Lose enough to be fun, but compact enough to manage 80km/h.

Still further on, they must have had a bit more rain, as there were puddles about every 100m  8) Most could be passed to either side, but some you had to cross.  :D

I don't know if it was because I was without a bike for so long or what, but I had a blast today.
Cheers for now!

Only 80km/h what wrong???  >:D
