...count me in.

Cheers Graham

Sounds good. If there's too many gladiators I might give it a miss but will keep an eye on the list as it grows.

Please count me in

Sounds good!

Go into Aurora, turn West at the 4-way stop, at the pastorie T-junction, turn left onto dirt to Redelinghuys.  3km out on the right is a gate to Sun Mountain, Mountain Mist.  This road is a lovely climb up the mountain, 15km long, and ends at the Radar Station on top.  Our farm is on the right just before the final climb to the station.

Will see you there FRANCOIS

So if you have ridden any little roads in this area before, bring your memory.

If you have any good maps, bring them along.

If you have the latest TOPO maps on your GPS, don't forget it.

I am going to try my new little program today which allows me to make Paths on Google Earth and transform them into routes for my GPS. I also remember some nice roads we took to get to one of the QBE Enduro's outside of Moorreesburg last year, heading in the general direction we want to go.

Hi Warren you can put our names down

Mike and Adie Adendorff

Thanks.

Hi Warren ,remember me,Ha Ha.

Please ad Tony Penver to the ride.

Cheers buddy.

Warren, I'll meet up with you guys at the Melkbos turnoff (where the M19 joins the N7). Please add Abie Fourie to the list. He will be on his new Dakar and is itching to take it for a ride.

Thanks, E

LOOKS LIKE A FINE DAY SO COUNT ME IN UNLESS YOU REACHED MAX NUMBERS

If you split the group 50:50 at every intersection you should have all the roads covered in no time.

PS remember to submit all tracks to T4A on Monday

Enjoy the recce guys.

I am off to the Buffelspoort!!!!!

I'm there - Thanks Warren!

Thanks to everyone the came along, 16 bikes it turned out to be and really awesome weather. If you weren't riding your bike yesterday, what were you doing?

Some new (for me) lekker little roads uncovered, one U turn, an old favorite in the pass above Goedverwaght, a good burger at the Spur in Piketburg and home in time to watch the recorded GP before the wife gets her night with the remote. There remains alot more "splorin to do" out there though.

Hope you all enjoyed it, and Craig, you're a braver man than me, hope you at least learned something yesterday.

It was a good day!

There was also an element of revenge against the English!  No injuries ... only fear ... just what's needed before the Test!

Thanks Warren. That mountain pass (Klok se poort - I believe?) had a bit of everything... steep slopes, loose rocks, some mud and a dash of sand. I feel as if i've graduated from from a 'one-liner' to a full Korporaal after yesterday's outing.

HaHa nice one PeterO - SA 1 - Engelsman 0
