The All Bike Race Day is the only event in the year exclusively for Motorcycles and is undoubtedly the highlight for many riders. “Amateurs” are able to compete via a registration and MSA licencing process in place specifically for this event which attracts a far larger field than the regional race days. In addition the event is run along the lines of a biker’s festival with a variety of stalls and festivities for the entire family.
I have arranged with my farmer friends with the old quarry in the Kalbaskraal area to take another group of club members to their farm where you can spend as long as you want practicing what ever you want across the varied terrain on offer there.
This is your opportunity to brush up on anything you feel you need to without the pressure of getting to a destination or convoy riding, very relaxed and all in your own time.
After the weekend’s great ride to Greyton, let’s add another Tar ride, this time to Tulbach.

We are planning an overnight ride to the Biedouw Valley for the weekend of 25 to 26 February 2012.
The weekend will consist of a fairly direct route there, an afternoon spent relaxing and swimming at the pools and then a 60km night drive (in pairs) down to the Doring River. Then home on Sunday via everyone’s “must do” route of Wupperthal, Esel Bank, the Cederberg Oasis and Ceres. So a full action packed weekend with plenty of riding and awesome scenery.
