Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

A little before Christmas the urge came upon me, would it last, could I sustain it? The urge for a quiet trip, that is! Last year it came and went due to exhaustion of work.

Now as a fair few know, I am Bi, I swing both ways, bike riding-wise that is. Tar and dirt do it equally for me!!

Now, what with the 'Ladies Training' and the 'Club's Track day' and the 'Slightly faster breakfast' run, my masculine side was out balancing my feminine, so a bit of dirt was called for to re-balance!!

Route Map The directional inspiration, for such a trip, came about while visiting with Chris (aka Padlangs) and Greta (Neil and I were invited to their new house, for a braai)…they had done a trip to St. Lucia. I had planned leave to do a trip, but up until this point, had no idea which direction to follow. After hearing Chris and Greta’s description of their trip, and seeing their photos, THIS WAS IT! Initially, I felt that I would like to follow the exact route taken by Chris and Greta… across to St. Lucia…but René had other plans for me. :-)
