Morning!  Conrad and Jacqui for Group 1 please...  Got a room at Jupiter.  Will do all deposits tonight...

On the list.

We have a payment from an F VIVIER but no booking details.

Anybody know him/her?

Good dag Geoff,

Quick question, my wife (riding pillion) and I really want to join, I'm not yet sure if we fit in Group 1 or 2... I did the off road training level 1 the other day, how technical will the off road beginner class be? I really want to do the off road (group 2) course but do not want to slow you guys down as we will be two unexperienced people on my GS 1200...

What do you suggest? 

If I may Stoukie:

Go with the beginners group.  Then you will be able to see where you are at for future rides.  You wife will also appreciate it if you are riding within your ability rather than feeling pushed and rushed.

Seriously - us guys are prone to push things.  If you get it wrong by pushing too fast, you will soon find yourself riding alone.  The beginners ride will still be going through the Karoo, seeing fantastic scenery, and having as much fun (if not more) than the rest. 

I really enjoy riding green routes when my wife is coming with.  It means I can relax,  and help others where needed.  I also then look forward to the ride without worrying whether I will be able to cope.

Thank you for the reply Charles, when referring to Group 1 and 2, Group 1 being the Tar drivers and Group 2 the beginner off road, basically what I was asking is, if the off road beginners will not be to technical I would like to try it (with wife as pillion), if you feel we will struggle I would rather go with the Tar option...

Suggestions?

Hi Geoff

Here I am.  I made my booking right near the start of the thread. 2 People, 1 bike for the roadies please.

As dit reën in die week voor die trip, gaan ek teer join!

Who will be leading Group 2 (Beginners off road)?

Hi Stoukie

Sorry, missed the subtlety!  The club beginners rides on off-road cater specifically for people in your position, so you should be fine to ride with the beginners' offroad group.

Typically, you should be comfortable riding at about 80km/hr plus on what we call a gravel highway (smooth, straight gravel with no surprises, where more advanced riders will do 120 or more).  On less "highway" gravel, a traveling speed of at least 60km/hr.  Obviously slower on "technical" sections like tight turns, steep passes and such-like.

There are beginners who are unable to ride more than 50 on perfect gravel, and this is just too slow to get to Sutherland.

My first ever offroad ride after the Intro course was this Sutherland trip, with Geoff, and his instructions at the time were "riding offroad is just like riding tar - lean into corners and countersteer" (I kid you not).  You might take that under advisement, although I enjoyed the ride unscathed that time...

Perfect thank you Charles.

Just finalizing our accommodation in Sutherland, will do the Club payment after that and update the thread.

Will then book in Group 2, very exciting. 

As this Wednesday is a public holiday I will throw the wife on the back and do a quick Riebeek Kasteel ride (very nice pizza's at Mama Cucina), there should be a gravel road on the way there that I can test this 80km/hr limit on...

 Grier, thanks

Payment made in full and email sent to Geoff.

In summary, my wife (riding pillion) Eldale and myself (Alwyn) would like to join Group 2 for the Sutherland trip, accommodation booked in the Sutherland Hotel.

Thank you.

Geoff - note that we have made all payments... Thanks!

Thanks Jacqui,

I update payment details on an ongoing basis as they appear on our bank statement that the Treasurer sends me from time to time.

Thanks for paying.

Hi Geoff,

Please move me to the fast group 4. 

Then, this Sutherland tour, is it only for club members or can lost souls on KTM’s also join?  I have a friend from PE, wanting to join if he may.

Thank you

Tarryn

Morning Geoff,  

There is still no "paid" next our names...  I paid on 25 April and sent payment receipt to David.  Got it?

Thanks

Jacqui

Thanks Jacqui...........sure you have paid so don't stress please.

I have not had an updated "paid" list recently (probably because I am never here).

Will request one today.

Geoff, I'm in===Rene leaving on the Friday morning. Paid this evening.

Do you ride that slowly Rene?

Ha, ha!!

You on your own?

Well Geoff, Where I am, you still need to get there.  I'll be joining Mike and staying over in Laingsburg, then on to Sutherland Saturday morning.

It's us old buggers that don't want to hold up the youngsters

Hi Geoff.

Jy kan vir my en Charlene by Group 1 plaas asb.

Sal jy ook asb vir Gerhard en Ella de Klerk plaas by Group 3.
