Tjops
Puppy
First up, thanks to all who organised the ride and attended. I was nice to meet fellow dogs and riding together. :thumleft:
Right, this is how I can explain the ride for the day: from the Touratech shop we moered into some backroad plaaspaaie, with lost of mud pools, loose sands, sinkplaat, crevecis and whole atoher nasty stuff. We were making our way to Secunda, but I think I speak for the majority of us that attented, we didn't have clue of where we were, except of course for the organisers! ;D
Unfortunalty, one of the BMW G 650 X Country riders developed electrical problems, and had to fall out. Furthermore, a poor bloke on 'lewensgevaarlike' bike broke his fork or something, and to rub salt in his wounds he apparatly lost his GPS. :-\
As for the rest, after some 'lewensgevaarlike' situations on the dirt, we made it to Dros in Secunda, where we enjoyed a well deserved meal. From there, some dogs decided they had had enough - mostly excuses of family obligations etc. and after filling up with juice departed on their merry way. Fortunalty for them, we shan't name and shame them.
Those loyal dogs remaining, we decided to do some more dirt on our way back to Delmas. But woe, when we hit the dirt and things were just becoming lekker, a BMW G 650 X Country's (am I the only one seeing a pattern here?) rear shock absorber pen broke. Now, we could have been basterds and left the poor dog along the road, but we decided to try and help and wait for the rescue veichle to arrive. :-\
And that's that - rescue vehicle showed up (after getting lost a few times along the way). Bike loaded, and off home we went, riding into the sunset! :ricky:
Next time we try the whole route!
Some pics that I could manage to take:

Waiting for some dogs to catch up:
Big Mudpool of Terror:
'Don't worry, it's only this deep.'
'See, I told you it was not deep.'
This is a picture of an excellent bike. Yes, I am biased.
Mudpool crossings!
Relaxing in the shade.
More riding:
We made it!
BMW breakdown.
Can you fix it?
I am sure that thingamajick doesn't go there:
'Sigh, so I couldn't fix the Beemer. Does that make me a bad person?'
Rescue!
