Barrydale

Siende dat daar gee “trip report” is vir die “Roadies” se Suterland Winter Trip nie, het ek besluit om dit te skryf. Maar ek is nie so gemaklik in Engels nie, so julle sal maar net tevrede moet wees met Afrikaans.

Vrydagaand 17:00: Die panniers is klaar gepak met elke moontlike warm kledingstuk wat in my kas is. Hulle is klaar vas gesit op die motorfiets.

Why is it that its always about the people?

Just after a gorgeous, windless sunrise, 8 bikes (with 3 lady pillions) gathered at Plattekloof Engen.  My first glimpse of our fellow riders was Neil, sitting atop a pile of braaiwood bags, reading the Saturday paper, seemingly oblivious to the world.

 

After a quick rider briefing, we set off down the N1 in blinding sunlight, diverting off at the R300, dodging taxis and concrete barriers, then onto the N2. We turned off the N2 at the Firlands turn-off for Gordon's Bay.

We met at Lanner’s Landing in Klapmuts at 8.15 for 8.30 departure. However, Dave, coming from Stellenbosch, somehow ended up near Wellington and then finally met us about half an hour later. 1st round of strafdoppe already allocated to Dave.

The show is about 2 hours long and is about a biker and his life played by Willem van der Merwe with a rock band playing all the old favourites from Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock" to "Bad to the Bone" and "Joyride".
