SAND SKILLS CLASS

The guy who I attended the gen. skills class with at Dirt 'N Dust is doing a Sand Skills Class this Sunday at Zone 7 (Cape Town, between Melkbos and Table View) if anyone is interested.

Cost = R650, this includes access to Zone 7.

Time: 9:00 - 13:00 / 13:30 pending how things go

Let me know if you keen to join as there are still one or two slots still open.

So the Sand Skill Class was postponed, and a quick spin out to Dirt 'N Dust for a few laps of the enduro loop (The trails are rutted out and loose compared to the last time I was there when it was nice and muddy) at a pace that felt so slow I was expecting a 5 year old to zoom past me on one of those black plastic push bikes.

Leaving there I picked up on an alternative route option that took me on some gravel roads I did not know existed going in the direction of Philadelphia. I had to turn off at one point to get to the road linking to Phili, and was really curious how far the gravel road kept going on for.

Just before hitting the tar section, the gravel road was flooded ... and I have not done a flooded off road section before, or had any idea how deep this section was, but decided to give it a spin anyway ... what a lot of fun this was.

From here it was a quick and scenic tar loop home.

Google maps tells me it was the Mosselbank Rivier crossing

Hi All

Do any of you have a GPS file for a Gravel ride running to Darling? I have heard talk of something from Parklands and another route from Durbanville.

I took my T7 for its first “long….ish” jaunt to visit the Hederberg Motorcycle Museum. What an excellent few days. Meed to rethink my packing but overall was a good trip. Bike did not disappoint with easy enthusiastic cruising on both tar and dirt.  Pics show a little of the home stretch around Greyton and the dirt roads south of van Wyksdorp. IMG_1219.jpeg.e9629caa0b438aab5673ed3b07a8e9e0.jpegIMG_1218.jpeg.8026369c46a0580d77e767b16f2a12b8.jpegIMG_1217.jpeg.10f72e694804e9aa527d943da62e7014.jpegIMG_1216.jpeg.eec06a51144614d4ac4892a378a39ed9.jpegIMG_1215.jpeg.cbeefdeda62d3f2f6f477eae127c9bc9.jpeg
