Geoff would be a brilliant fisherman. Imaging him casting the lure:

Join the Club on this intermediate level GS Off Road ride in the lovely Overberg area on Sunday 22nd November.

Turn left at the third bush

He had 19 takers, two being clever enough to ride pillion. (Neels and Annamarie piloted the back-up vehicle.)

From the Engen on the N2 near Somerset West, we vroomed up Sir Lowrys Pass, turning right onto the Highlands road just after the Peregrine Farmstall.

A short ride and spit braai to celebrate 30 years of BMW Motorcycle Club Cape existence. We meet at the Engen One-stop on the N1 (Winelands One-stop), ride through to Franschhoek, and have a spit braai.

It was a long weekend, and on the Friday night Gav and I realised we had not really planned anything. A bit of internet research and a quick phonecall to McGregor found us accommodation for the Saturday night; the idea being that we would simply point the bikes in a direction and take things from there.

We had ridden the Koppies gravel road near Villiersdorp a week or so earlier, but wanted to go back and explore a bit more, so headed out from Cape Town via Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. It was a perfect day for being out on your bike, and being mid-morning on the Saturday of a long weekend, the roads were lovely and quiet.
