Day 1 : to Graaff Reinet

We meet at 5:30 am at the Winelands 1-Stop for breakfast.  It is an appropriate end to a week of last-minute arrangements: new tyre (knobblies mandatory for this trip), on-the-road snacks, traveling cash, and packing for an extended trip to a region where temperatures can range between -5 and 30+.

A little before Christmas the urge came upon me, would it last, could I sustain it? The urge for a quiet trip, that is! Last year it came and went due to exhaustion of work.

Now as a fair few know, I am Bi, I swing both ways, bike riding-wise that is. Tar and dirt do it equally for me!!

Now, what with the 'Ladies Training' and the 'Club's Track day' and the 'Slightly faster breakfast' run, my masculine side was out balancing my feminine, so a bit of dirt was called for to re-balance!!
