Dates confirmed :BMW Club 2012 "ROADIES" Tour : Western & Eastern Cape, Transkei & Drakensberg
The planning for the 1st 9 day "ROADIE" Tour for the first quarter of 2012 is at an advanced stage. This Tour through the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Transkei & Drakensberg has lots of Routes that differ from this year's Tour and we will be spending two nights at the beautiful Crawfords Cabins as well as the fantastic Umngazi River Bungalows. We will have a total rest day at Umngazi so you can just chill for the day and we will have a short optional out ride to Kei mouth and the famous Bush Pig Bush Pub on our second day at Crawfords.
Final dates and costings are still being worked upon and you will be notified once they are ready. You will be asked to confirm your intentions once you receive this notice.

I simply love the itinerary, looks like a really big wonderful crowd if all of those go. can I put deposit down yet, to confirm my place 10 - 17 March. Does the trip so early in the year mean there is another roadies in the second half of the year.

Hey Lyn, good to hear from you on your boat cruise.
The group will be about the same size as last year, around 17 bikes.
There is a good possibility of a second "ROADIES" Tour in the latter half of 2012.
No need to pay a deposit yet Lyn as I already have you on my list as a definite.
Enjoy the rest of your cruise and come home safely.
Will do Adrian.
The Laid Back Off Road "DIRTIES" Tour will be in the second quarter of 2012.
Dates are now confirmed as 10th to 18th March 2012.
