Breakfast Run Houwhoek 13 Jan 08

This was a clubride and the captain of the day was Ian. We all met at the Engen Plattekloof and took off at 8:15. The plan was to go straight to the venue at Houwhoek for breakfast and then from there back towards town. It was most certainly an AMAZING turn up, a lot of pillions as well, riding right at the back it was an awesome picture viewing this long string of BMW motorbikes from behind on the way to Grabouw. After breakfast 10 bikes was going to do some off roading, we headed back towards Grabouw and took the "The Valley" turn off, this is a tar road that becomes gravel over the mountain and comes out right opposite the Arabella near Kleinmond. From here Russ decided to pick up the pace a bit on his own, then it was some more gravel towards Caledon. Here we got a bit wet but not too much... We joined back on the N2 and went to Dassiesfontein where we bought some cheese and other "farm goodies"; after this to Botrivier and from there we took the gravel road through Van Zyl's Pass towards Theewaterskloof dam, an amazing little gravel road - something I recommend you do !!! When we got to Theewaterskloof dam I informed everyone that from now on it is everyman for himself. Wayne (Gwaai) turned towards the N2 and from there into town towards home and the rest of us decided that we liked riding together so much that we all went over the pass towards Franschoek - as we came over the top of the pass - "clear skies" a beautifull day in Franschoek !! 13pm And we were in Franschoek, no casualties and an EXCELENT bunch of people on the whole ride on the day with 1 goal in mind - to enjoy their ride and to represent the club with their friends. I did not have my camera with me and therefore do not have any pictures - can ALL of you that have some pictures PLEASE post some here for us all to see?? So far I have only received off road pics.... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Looking forward to the next breakfast run. Keep it SAFE !!!
