Nice one Adrian.  Are you deliberately trying to make those of us who weren't there feel bad about it? Wink

A 'Riding' picture story, or is it a comic strip.

 

Riding in the mist

Leaving Cape Town in a cold misty morning

Mist now behind

to reach the sun in Paarl.

And on the side

Still some mist in the valley

Going down Du Toits

and nice sunny down the other side of Du Toits.

Ahh there they GO.

Looking back

Is there someone behind me

We must go up there

because we must go up there and

Almost there

to disappear around the bend.  Almost at the top

And then more

just to see the next one.

Now we are there

finally we reached the top

Time for a break

for a tea (pee) break so that we can

Just to go again

just make some dust again

and again

and again.

Thanks to Adrian and Adie for the stunning photography and for capturing this past weekend's ride - what would we do without you!

Du Toit - all you have to do is what Adie does - as he's riding he usually has is camera out and points and shoots! Laughing

Thanks for a great weekend and some stunning roads less travelled!

You can always persuade (bribe) Tony not to be sweep - then you will be able to take as many photos as you want. Laughing
