Fishtailing to the cracks and back …

For those of you who might have read my ride report earlier this year, entitled “experiencing the Overberg as a pillion“, I’ve since progressed to my own set of two wheels, a beautiful red F650GS, named She-Raz.

We are planning an overnight ride to the Biedouw Valley for the weekend of 25 to 26 February 2012.

The weekend will consist of a fairly direct route there, an afternoon spent relaxing and swimming at the pools and then a 60km night drive (in pairs) down to the Doring River.  Then home on Sunday via everyone’s “must do” route of Wupperthal, Esel Bank, the Cederberg Oasis and Ceres. So a full action packed weekend with plenty of riding and awesome scenery.

The longer serving members will remember how often we had the Club's more ADVANCED Off Road Day rides and they were always very popular.

I have been receiving requests again to arrange another one. This ride will not suit beginners or even semi beginners. It is aimed at the above average rider.

The inevitable question I get is "how bad is the route"? Well not bad at all in fact it is merely that we leave Cape Town early in the morning (after a Wimpy breakfast) and we get home in the late afternoon/early evening and we stop very seldom along the way.
