The first year we do just a leetle bit Adventurer, the next year we go full out >, and no he (oom Jaap) has not complaint, he did actually like the livelyness of the bunch, he also enjoyed the Free Hansa in the kegs, no he is still an Ok guy, thanks Adv for bringing in the Katoom into the lapa, things started from there, the guys had to follow up or loose out :thumleft:
Thanks also for your participation and the prizes you guys sponsored, also thanks to the family as they attended also, hope that they enjoyed it.

I can't tell the story much better than anyone else has, but I wanted to add my thanks for everyone who worked so hard to make all this possible. The social was a blast, and the bike riding even better! We were all treated like kings.

I would like to thank JohnST for lying to me about the difficulty of the route (which is why I even attempted it). It was a massive stretch but did my confidence the world of good... and no that does not mean you are getting away with it again next time.  >

I would like to thank JustBiking for not divorcing me, on the Lesotho ride, on grounds of bad behavior and verbal abuse ... trust me I stretched the vocabulary just a teeny-tiny bit.  :imaposer:

DeonDJ ...maybe that expression on my face was the effect of the 800GS.  :ricky:

 

[DeonDj]

800GS has that ooo effect

Just a few more pics from me. When the FS bash thread first started I joked about the FS having Internet. The first two pics is of a smiley, Free State style!
Then there's one of the kloof. I hope someone post(ed) a lot more of the kloof, man what a great setting.

Last pic is GundaGunda showing how rough camping can be - you have to run your laptop off a battery!  :imaposer: (Ok actually he was helping CG to set up her GPS!).
