Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

We are planning an overnight ride to the Agterkliphoogte Valley near Robertson for the weekend of 21 to 22 May 2011. Warren and Natalie Ellwood will be your hosts for this weekend trip to one of the lesser known gems in the Western Cape. This off road ride will suit riders of all levels.

The evening before it was agreed by all that we would have breakfast at 7.00am and be ready to leave by 8.00am.

As I don’t sleep that well when away from home I omitted to set my alarm as I usually wake up to the rising sun and the stroll around till breakfast.

Well yes you guessed it, opening the curtain to let the morning sun in would have helped and I only woke up to the rest of the guys walking past my room to breakfast.

Merweville had become a point of discussion between Wayne and myself for quite some time now and when a last min opportunity arose for Wayne to join a club ride to there, he jumped at it.

 Ever since his return from this ride he just wouldn’t stop about how great the ride was and we should go there soon.

 Since it doesn’t take much to convince me to explore new places I agreed at the first chance I could. We agreed that Wayne would put the ride together this time.

Well, let me take this early opportunity to that Wayne and I differ greatly in this area.
