Ja, dit was op pad uit, maar ten minste teen omtrent 5 km/h. Vir een of ander rede was my kop simpel oor sand die Sondag. Dieselfde stuk pad het ten minste dubbel die hoeveelheid tyd geneem om te ry as wat dit die Saterdag geneem het.

Hey Afdekker, gaan kyk Tribes se video!
Jacobsroodt, Ferdi and myself left Durbanville at ±7am.
Ferdi and Jabobsroodt
We met up with Parkinoff in Ceres.
He was also bringing stuff with for Tribes. I only had a handlebar brace.
Last fuel at Op-die-berg (next fuel is Calvinia). Ferdi stayed behind because he had a work related conference call scheduled for 10am.
Compulsory this-is-the-end-of-the-tar P and photo stop. I stayed behind to make a quick phone call and to give myself a gap to hoof it a bit
then this happened
flat rear, and as anybody who has taken a E07 off an Excel rim before will tell you, breaking the bead is not easy. I used the two tire levers in a "scissor" fashion and got the bead off after ±10 minutes. I only have a small bicycle pump and inflating took a while. I passed a message on to Parkinoff and Jacobsroodt via a passing Land Rover that I am on my way. Took nearly an hour to remove all luggage, fit a new tube and put everything back together. Ferdi also had a flat that morning on the R355 and it took him 7 minutes to fix.
After nearly an hour:
before Eselbank we met up with Mapsource and Pienkhemp, We also encountered many 4X4's. It was Pienkhemp's first trip off tar. He did better on his first time than I did on my 50th time.
I shot ahead to get a few action shots on the only real piece of sand on that stretch
Jacobsroodt cruised through as if he was in the Spar's parking lot, Parkinoff about the same, just faster. Pienkhemp had a big snake manoeuvre going and saved it just before taking out the cameraman and that made me miss the Mapsource moneyshot
Parkinof had some issues with his bike and we left him in Nieuwoudtville. We were originally on our way to Calvinia and made it to Nieuwoudtville 30 minutes after the petrol station normally closes, but luckily they were still open. Jacobsroodt and myself took the 70km tar to Calvinia. We reached Calvinia in the dark. 16km outside Calvinia we took a left on the Klipwerf road. Then followed 95km of my favourite riding ever.
First time offroad in the dark on a road I didn't know with someone I never rode with before. My spots stopped working earlier in the day so I rode next to Jacobsroodt using his very bright spotlights. Getting to the end of the road was a relief and disappointment. Everything just clicked.
We got to Lekkeroog after 13 hours on the road
The Northern Cape hospitality showed itself. The guy in black top above is rightsideup who was highjacked into joining us. Good meeting you Stephen.
We slept in Jaco's wool working barn again. Much better that pitching a tent
Day one ended early on day two ;D

We got fuel in Brandvlei and a bit of brunch. Brandvlei is also apparently into the whole slow food movement :imaposer:
From Brandvlei it is 120km to the pan. Hinksding was doing his Campbell impression on the road there and rightsideup was on his tail. Vstrom with slicks and all. If anybody ever says GeenSand for a bike I'm sending them over to him.
Blue Steel
On the way to the farm I ran out of talent. Worst of all is that I put it down the next day there where Mapsource is standing ;D
There was a moerse wind on the pan. The Tribes and Nimmo had tents weighed down with sand.
I shared the honeymoon suite with Mapsource and Hinksding
mini dust tornado heading towards us, but luckily just passed us
different strokes
Hinksding built us a fireplace that provides better heat
gratuitous KTM shot
everyone came to get the sunset shot
later that evening we went to look for the bell. Not as easy as it sounds. Mapsource wins the prize this time.
My favourite part of the pan was when we all parked off in the dark in the middle of nowhere. Checking out stars and talking a lot of nonsense. Emptying our sherry and muscadel stocks.

Sunday breakfast fire
Clouds building. We got some rain between the pan and Williston. It snowed on Sunday morning in Sutherland.
Coffee and rusks for breakfast
The road to the farm was still wet. Louis (the farmer) got stuck on Friday so we were told to ride next to the road. Nobody told Ferdi and he paid the price. You can hardly stand there, nevermind ride a bike
oasis on the way to Williston
Snack stop between Williston and Sutherland. The whole Williston was closed, so we opted to get lunch in Sutherland.
went to say hello to Theo at Jupiter
