Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

I broke my foot back in July as a result of a trip to Die Hel (full story: http://www.bmwmotorcycleclubcape.co.za/finishing-ride-come-die-hell-or-h...). Since I was out of action, I spent a lot of time living vicariously through others on both the Wild Dog forum and this forum. That’s when I noticed that another biker girl had a similar story to tell: Boskind27, who had torn her Achilles tendon in the Cederberg early September: http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=159266.0.

Ride Report : Off Road Day Ride 1st July

Following on the heels of the recent "beginners ride" I planned an intermediate ride to take the riders to the next step on the learning ladder. The original route would have seen us riding through the Overberg however with rain threatening the area I changed the route to the Swartland. 18 of us met at the Swartland Engen 1 stop on the N7 at 07h15 for a lekker Wimpy greasy breakfast. It was good to see many familiar faces as well as some new Club members as well as some aspirant members. Neels & Anna Marie piloted the back up vehicle. We left the garage in lovely sunshine at 0800 sharp heading for the dirt just before Morreesburg. Here we stopped and deflated tyres before heading through MB and out the other side. Here we had our first lost sheep when one of the riders failed to see the guy in front show the "thumbs up"! After a short while the lost group had been found and we all met up again on our way to the Berg river.
