Only two people pitched up for the much publicized "DAY RIDE on 26 December 2007", Corné and myself. Corné suggested we go on our own ride, I did not want to go too far and Paarl and back is too straight and boring. So I suggested back roads via Durbanville to N7. We waited about 30 minutes for more people to arrive then left Engen alone to N1, Jip de Jager to Durbanville, Contermans Kloof to N7. Turned left to Vissershok then right towards Bothasig. Some long, 130km/h bends, made a u-turn and did them again. Turned left towards Durbanville and went up the mountain to Bloemendal restaurant. Hey, Padlangs, I took the RT OFF-ROAD, without knobblies. Bloemendal1 OK so the OFF-Road was just the parking area but I did it, some people just talk about doing it. :-) Bloemendal2 The people at Bloemendal were very friendly and offered us free bottomless coffee, they only offer breakfast for a block booking and are very eager to have us. Bloemendal7 The view is great Bloemendal3 Bloemendal5 If we judged their breakfast by looking at the lunch menu .... Bloemendal8
