Come And Join The Fantastic BMW Motorrad Club Cape Sutherland Winter Ride For 2019

Bring your Partner

An Event Not to be missed

Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa Sutherland here we come for the Hugely Anticipated Annual BMW Motorrad Club Cape "Winter Ride" - weekend 3rd and 4th August 2019.

All riders and visitors welcome.

This ride held annually in Winter has always been one of the highlights of the Club ride calendar for many years and this year is sure to be no different.

We will have 5 groups (Ride leaders to bev confirmed) going on this very popular weekend. We encourage you to persuade your partner/friends to come along with you and enjoy the ride and evening with us.

  • Group 1 will be Roadies slower ride (Rouen Williams)
  • Group 2 Will be Roadies Faster ride (John Carr)
  • Group 3 Off road easy/beginner (Wouter de Vos)
  • Group 4 Off road Intermediate (Garry van As)
  • Group 5 Off Road more experienced (Geoff Russell)

Ride leaders to be confirmed.

Please note that the road groups have different routes and one ride is faster than the other.

None of the Off road Groups are really difficult. What separates them more so is the distance the groups ride. The beginners ride is shorter and easier than the others and no difficult terrain should be encountered. The entire Route is on well used gravel roads.

Among other interesting routes Gannaga Pass and Middelpos and possibly even Ouberg Pass will be on the menu for the “Dirties” while I am sure that the “Roadies” will find a nice detour to get there with a possible lunch stop at the lovely Lord Milner Hotel in Matjiesfontein.

Oh……..what about the cost :

Dinner our back up vehicle/trailer/back up driver, 5 ride leaders plus sweepers : R340.00 per person.

We are looking for a Back up 4x4 and driver to tow the Club Trailer (Expenses paid). Contact me if you are interested.

As usual Theo & Dolla and their team from Jupiter Guest House will prepare a real Karoo Braai for all of us consisting of : Lamb braai with Wors, veggies, salads, farm bread, with cheese and jam, baked pudding with cream, coffee and tea.

Dietary requirements : If you have specific requirements please let me know when booking and we will try our best to accommodate your choice.

ACCOMMODATION :

NB! NB! NB! NB! NB! NB! NB!

When you make your booking please let the place that you are booking with know that you are part of the BMW group.

Do not delay in making your bookings as Sutherland is very popular in Winter----------Book immediately

You will need to make your own bookings and here are some sites to look at :

Feel free to contact "Dolla" at Jupiter Guest House to assist you with your bookings - 023-5711340 :-

Some accommodation numbers:

  • Jupiter Guesthouse: 023 571 1340
  • Kambrokind: 023 571 1405
  • Whitehouse: 023 571 1444
  • Ester Jordaan: 023 571 1257

 

Or just go onto Google and type in "Sutherland Accommodation" and all the available places will pop up. Be warned that I do not suggest you book accommodation outside of the town as you will get very cold riding home after dinner.

There is also camping for those that enjoy camping cold.

Please try your best to book in Town as the nights are very cold and you don't want to be driving in these conditions especially after a few drinks.

As usual for peace of mind the Tour will be accompanied by a back up vehicle and the Club trailer.

Below is the 2016 invite in which many questions regarding the ride, tyre choice, etc are discussed. Feel free to read this and I am sure many of your questions will be answered ;

Hi everyone 

I am really looking forward to my first Sutherland trip with the club.

I have already paid the fees and the accomodation at the Whitehouse Inn.

I initially requested to ride in group 4. However this being my first trip I would

like to be moved to group 3 just to be a bit more comfortable if that is in

order.

Thanks in advance

Good morning

Visiting Sutherland is one of my bucket list items. I finally have a big enough bike after 3 years of riding. A month ago I   spoke to Wouter and he suggested I join his group. But I have had trouble finding accommodation in town for just me (unless I want to pay R1000 for a cottage for 3 people). Are there any people who don't have accommodation yet and who are interested in sharing? Or is there any spare bed in accommodation that is already booked, that I can share? I don't snore

Looking for accommodation for 2 people. Sent messages to Blue Moon, Alpha and Hotel - awaiting responses. I am working through the Sutherland list, however if anybody knows of other options or cancellations or possibility of sharing if you have spots open in houses, please let me know.

Guys, I would like to find out the itinerary of the start point don't need to know the route, that can be a surprise, but being a first timer, I am a little in the dark here as to how this Sutherland weekend works, do we all go to Sutherland on the Friday and then drive around there, or do we leave on the Sat from CT somewhere, which I still don't know where and drive through to Sutherland. and only overnight the Sat night. please assist whoever can enlighten me many thanks Craig.

Hi Craig

Closer to the time, you will get an email with the details of when and where to meet for the ride.  Each group will meet at a different location, so that there isn't confusion.

The ride starts in Cape Town early on Saturday morning, and returns on Sunday.  Typical departure points are the Engen Winelands 1-Stop, Engen in Plattekloof, Swartland 1-stop etc (you will notice a predisposition for Wimpy coffee or a quick breakfast).

Typical departure times are around 8am, with some meeting earlier to meet and greet and have breakfast.

Departure from Sutherland on Sunday morning is a bit more leisurely (and the cold means that some bikes battle to start (so bring your emergency jump-start battery if you have one)).
