The last three Sunday’s have been marked with rainy weather, so building up the lunch ride, the weather seemed to play along, with a stunning day on the Saturday.
However Sunday came and so did the clouds....

Sunday morning started off with a sms at 05h35 (who sms's at that time) from Karin saying she is a little nervous about the rain and windy, she doesn’t like riding in it. I am not sure what i responded with but by 06h15, I was awake and told her to come to the meet and we take it from there.

===Day 1: Cape Town – Bonnievale=== We set out late Monday afternoon for Bonnievale at 17h00. The weather was good…..that is no pumping cape doctor, “anything else is good in my book”, but once we hit the R60 to Robertson the cape doctor gave us a woes snot klap making it difficult to maintain 140km/h. We were packed reasonably light, only the absolute essentials for a one night camp out, no rain gear, a cell phone to use for any major repairs, and a basic supper of noodles with tinned tuna. (The rest of our meals were to be had on route.) Our first night was with friends on their wine farm on the Breede River. After a really good braai and good wine it was off to bed before many dusty back roads to tomorrows destination….Die Hel!
