We decided to join this ride:

https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=101759.0

9am, no soul in sight, check forum and discovered that Wortel had a flat! And so did his bike.

Well, let's go and see what Du Vlei looks like.

Roadworks


No problem


Grim looking road and day ...  At least the road will be fixed one of these years.


and the day can also only get better.


Looking better already


Green everywhere




Taking the road from Durbanville to Wellington


Saw many bikers just outside Wellington, but our destination is Hermon.


We're not mad to be out on the road, or we're not the only mad ones!


What is looming?


This doesn't look good.


This isn't good


We decided to turn around and join the others in Wellington, when about 20 bikes passed us in the direction of Hermon and the mist. Good luck!


Back into some sunshine.


Place on right were we saw the others bikers


As we turned in, they were leaving. also in the direction of the mist.


We had the best "wildspastei" and nice hot coffee. 

I am not satisfied with the amount of time in the saddle and decided to take a little detour back home.
Turned off on road past Landbouskool.


Turns into a lovely morning


Good morning!


Nice to be on the road


Left turn to Klipheuwel, can't go without some gravel.


Ready, steady ...


Go


Road in excellent condition, no dust after rains.


This is almost not a dirt road, solid as a rock.


No words necessary!


Who is better off - debatable


Why must this end?


Alone or with other riders, nothing like being out on the road.
Maybe next time I will meet Wortel and ride with him!

Thanks to my wife for braving the weather with me, turned out to be a beautiful day.







 
Thanks for that cool RR :thumleft: :thumleft:

IMHO,... being out on the road alone,.... is still better than not being out on your bike @ all ;) ;)

Looks like you & Wifie had a Gr8 ride. Always nice to be out on a bike,.... just soooooo wish I was able to join.
 
Lekker RR Walletjies......................  :thumleft: Ons moet weer eendag die ST's bymekaar bring ................ :thumleft:
 
Nice!!! Die flat was toe n battery draad wat los was. Het lank gesukkel om die eenvoudige foutjoe te kry.  :patch:
 
Lekker! Omtrent 'n mooi dag gewees. Volgende keer is ons daar, gelukkig het Wortel die probleempie gekry so ons is nou gesort  :)

I agree, if my wife is willing to go with I don't mind going on my own.
Let me know when you go on a ride, I will join!

Nice solo ride at least you had your wife to keep you company :thumleft:

Ek het gehoop jy en die vrou gaan saam!
Veral omdat Wortel gesê het hy vat sy vrou saam.
