The slower Maraisburg ride :P (5 Jan '12)

[iamgigglz]

Thanks again for a great ride. Ninjaguy, sorry you just missed us; was painful reading your Saturday morning posts. Next time  :thumleft:

A few snaps from my helmet. Working on the video.
First time I've taken this camera on a "proper" ride, so please excuse the utter randomness of it all...

Getting to the dunes (best part of the ride if you ask me)

At the dunes

Dwerg?

Um...erm...yeah, let's turn around...

And one final "let's get seriously stuck in the mud"

Nice pics. That 2nd last one looks quite intimidating - I can see why you all shook your heads

I also like that first part of the ride. There's so many tracks there, even though you can't see them - we just took one that was at ground level

Bring a plastic sometime and we can climb all those dunes, from the beginning.

The mid-size DS bikes can get up and down most hills but often get stuck in the narrow ruts/cutouts

Looks like you guys had an awesome time, next time will not be late, spoke to two guys on plastic ktms who told me you guys had left but were stopping at at Uncle Harry's....so headed out there to join you guys for the return ride...saw them again at Uncle Harry's and they reckoned you guys would be a long while so hightailed it home and did family stuff.

Looks like I missed a fun ride though.

There will be more, ninjaguy. Everyone was eager and had their helmets on and bike's started at 7 so I figured we'd better go.

spoke to the same guys on plastics who said they'd bumped into you - but there was no ways we'd make it to harrys in a hurry

We, who were left, got back to the garage at 3pm - an 8 hour round trip

I was wondering - the dude looked so much like you. That Dullstoom ride was a long time ago...

i'm really glad you guys enjoyed yourselves, was good watching you charge around on those giant bikes

Saw the vids at bmwclubs - you think we'll get more 'volunteers' the next time?

Yep, riding with screens is a no-no - ask brandt!

Thanks for a great ride - Crackers makes it happen.

At long last, my video. Check it out before Youtube removes the music.
No decent footage of the dunes themselves unfortunately, but it gives a good overview of the day's riding.
Make sure you've got sound, especially at the 16 minute mark.  ;D
Also, rather watch it on Youtube; much better quality.
