Five of the club members decided to attend the Margate Bike Fest this year.

This is not a traditional report of where we went and what we saw but much more about the human camaraderie between the riders on the journey.

Enough said, just watch the video that Henri Basson kindly prepared on returning to find out more.

The route we took is certainly worth the ride offering great views on routes that are not often traveled.

Another great trip to the West Coast with Geoff and Noelene, and Anna Marie and Neels our calm and dependable back-up/ and sadly sometimes,ambulance team. Jurg se Kaya; West Coast West Coast Riding...........Sand!!! West Coast For me it was my 2nd, with Charles and Jacques who were along with me on the first,it brought back good memories and the best was to see how much our sand riding had improved,( there was much scope for improvement)

I wasn't able to post this then, as I was Computer Challenged... hence a BC ride. After Tonyt's post I was reminded, this is a small yet lovely section of the ride. The first photo was taken after having ridden through Zoar then Seweweekspoort and now turned right to ride through Bosluiskloof to the Gamkaspoort Dam. Old house in ruins Just past the ruins the road opened out to these strange red things.... pockets and pockets of onions. Field of Onions...pockets and pockets..
