For the first time ever we had no cancelations - a somewhat disappointing fact for the 7 guys on the waiting list.
The name and meaning of the ride report will reveal itself when the discussions around this year's tracks starts..
@hartebees will be the major contributor of this ride report and the rest of the guys can chip in if they feel like it.
2 weeks to go before the crew heads for Windhoek....
