Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa Sutherland here we come for the Annual BMW MCC Cape Winter Ride - weekend 2nd & 3rd August 2014.

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

As usual we will have 3/4 groups going on this very popular weekend. We encourage you to persuade your partners to come along with you and enjoy the ride and evening with us.

Group 1 will be for the roadies Ride leader Brian Messenger

Group 2 Will be for Off Road Beginners (Ride leader TBC)

Group 3 Off road Intermediate/average  (Ride leader TBC)

Group 4 Off road Experienced Ride leader Geoff Russell

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 Maaitjiesfontein.

Oh……..what about the cost :

Dinner and our back up vehicle expenses : R290.00 per person

As usual Theo and his team from Jupiter Guest House will prepare a real Karoo Braai for all of us.

Dietary requirements : If you have specific requirements please let me know (vegetarian, Halaal, etc)

ACCOMMODATION :

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

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 :

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.

As usual the for peace of mind the Tour will be accompanied by the back up vehicle and the Club trailer that will also carry your baggage should you so desire.

Interested?

Your posting on the Forum and or an e mail to me (russell@aroma.co.za) with your and your partners name please as well as your simultaneous payment of R290.00 will confirm your booking. Please remember that once you have booked and paid your payment is non refundable unless you are replaced on the Tour.

NB! NB! NB!

Please state your group with your booking, either “TAR” or “DIRT 2, 3 or 4" depending on your group choice!

Good stuff. I'll be there!

Out of interest the Sutherland Observatory has been on my bucket list, so I've booked to do a night tour there on Friday 1 August between 6 and 8 pm. You get to do some star gazing through their telescopes. Cost R80. Maybe there are some other people interested?

So I'll be going up (by tar road) on Friday.

On Saturday I plan to go back to Matjiesfontein to meet the guys for lunch. If someone can confirm their plans with me prior to this?

Hi Geoff, can you give us more details please? Time of departure, what about Saterday Lunch? R290.00 pp is a bit steep for just a Karoo Braai dinner (ok some of that will go to the back-up vehicle.... but still very expensive). I assume all will have breakfast at own choice of accomodation but what about Sunday Lunch? What time will we be back in CPT?

R290.00 is not only for your dinner Alf it also covers the costs of the back up vehicle, driver, etc.

Kevin and others who have queried why their names have disappeared.

Any one who did not pay, despite my repeated requests to do so, were removed from the list. These people had ample time to confirm their payments (in the event that I had messed up) to me before I removed their names. If payment was made after the 20th June I will only pick it up now. If I get their payments they will be reinstated.

My wife woke up late to this ride - we are going - but Sutherland is booked up accomodation wise it seems.

If anyone knows of a place to stay for two on Saturday evening 2 August, please let me know. I found a place at Khoi Khoi, but after reading reports it does not sound like a place to take your wife to.

Please let me know.

I went for a second batch of X-rays today and got the sad news that a bone in my right foot (first/medial cuneiform) is indeed fractured thanks to my off in Die Hel. Cry They didn't pick it up in X-rays 2 weeks back.

Lance and I have already booked a spot at the Whitehouse. Lance is doing Dirt4.

My general plea: Is it at all possible that I could tag along in a back-up vehicle/any other vehicle that is going? I am willing to contribute towards petrol money and team spirit.

I am based in Blouberg over the weekends and cannot drive anything myself at the moment.

Please Embarassed

My wife is going in the car, her bike gear is not warm enough for a Sutherland trip. If you can get someone to drop you at the starting point, we can fit you in the car and you can have a warm, comfortable drive to Sutherland with a heater and music!

You can email me on teejay@telkomsa.net or call me on 082 926 6007
