Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

It's time for a ride to the Southern Cape :-)  The BMW Motorrad Club Cape will be visiting Mosselbay for an overnight stay at the Eight Bells Mountain Inn Hotel.  Our trip is planned for the 8th of February this year, and there will be both on-road and off-road options for you to ride.

Availability is very limited, so members and their guests will need to book as soon as possible. (Booking closes on Monday 3rd of February or as soon as all rooms are booked, whichever comes first.)

It's nearly that time of year again when the BMW Mororrad Club Cape visits Arniston again, for an overnight stay in the luxurious Arniston Spa Hotel.  Our trip is planned for the 24th of August this year, and there will be both tar and dirt options for you to ride.  Routes and departure details will be communicated to all participants closer to the departure date.

Availability is limited, so members and their guests will need to book soon. (Booking closes on Friday 16th of August or as soon as all rooms are booked, whichever comes first.)

We will be visiting Lamberts Bay on the Weskus on Saturday 02 March.  There will be an on-road tar group as well as an off-road group.

Our breakfast ride this Sunday will take us to Du Vlei Farm Stall in Hermon.  This is a dual ride, so there will be a dirt and tar option.  The tar ride will be via Du Toitskloof Pass through Ceres to Hermon. 

The route for the dirt ride will be decided on the morning depending on the number of participants.

More details at the briefing on Sunday morning.

We'll leave from Engen Plattekloof, located in Plattekloof Village Shopping Centre (the normal meeting place) at 08h00 sharp.

Our Route

Our first overnight ride for 2018 takes us to Lamberts Bay on 10 February 2018 with dinner at the truly amazing Muisbosskerm beach restaurant.  If you haven’t been to Muisbosskerm, now is your chance, and what better way to do it than include it on a bike trip.
