Registration opened on 18/06/2012. Visit www.gseco.co.za for ALL the information.
Come join in the BMW cameraderie, the full monty of rides (green, orange & red dirt roads and on-road routes. On-road mainly roads into Lesotho, Maluti country, to some of the unique destinations the Mountain Kingdom has to offer, eg Katse Dam, Mohales Dam.
I'm still thrilled by my experiences of last year and a lot that needs to be unfold this year. For me this will always be a challenge (if you've read my trip report: Just do it...not Nike, but Bike)
Who's joining this year? Counting the weeks. Eish, that GS of mine already "on heat".
Die registrasie vir die ECO 2012 is halfpad vol bespreek binne 'n week nadat registrasie geopen het . Don't snooze!!!! Kom ons probeer om 'n beter verteenwoordiging uit die Wes-Kaap te kry hierdie jaar. Om hierdie omgewing te gaan besoek, is beslis die moeite werd. Webblad: www.gseco.org.za
Hi
I have registered and paid for the eco trip. am just arranging accomodation, I might just tent if I cannot get accom close enough
thanx for the prompt reminder as I would have missed out
Hi Anna-Marie, ek het net betyds geregistreer. Ek weet nog nie wanneer ek gaan ry nie - dalk die 16'e of eers die 17'e, want die vorige week stap ons nog eers die Walvisroete.
Wanneer wil jy vertrek, en terugkom? Ek kom dalk via Natal terug....
Dis goeie nuus, Du Toit. Ek het intussen gehoor registrasie is gesluit. Ons beplanning is om die Woendag ogg uit die Kaap te vertrek en Donderdagmiddag in Clocolan te arriveer. Ons praat nader aan die tyd ...... ek het 'n hele paar lekker planne.
Greetings Anna-Marie.
My registrationwas confirmed.
I'd like to join your group for the ride if I may.
Regards

Jammer vir julle wat weens werksverpligtinge moes kanselleer. Hopelik is daar 'n volgende keer.

Ek sal dit waardeer indien die bogenoemde persone per e-pos aan my kan bevestig of jul nog saamry. Die finale reëlings tov vertrektye, roetes na, oornagverblyf en etes kan dan gefinaliseer word. Maak asb. seker dat jy 'n geldige paspoort het. Billike kostes vir oornagverblyf en etes is beskikbaar.
