Yup, a great ride, thanks
Yup, a great ride, thanks Brian. the so-called "proebord" turned out to be a plate of food that could feed a whole family! I came home via Grabouw/Villiersdorp/Franschoek pass..the mist was HECTIC! At the crest of the pass we were doing 20 km/h. I couldn't see 5 meters in front of the bike. To the dipstick of the year in the Isuzu bakkie ahead of me..has no-one ever told you that a white bakkie is damn near invisible in heavy mist when you drive without lights?!?!?! Danelle, it was an absolute pleasure having you along on the ride, we all enjoyed your company! I'll keep the back seat warm and polished for the next one, lol.

Great ride today. Thanks
Great ride today. Thanks Brian for leading us safely through the mist to the sunshine on the other side of Du Toitskloof. Lunch was v good and enjoyable, in spite of all the "bad service" horror stories we told each other at our table. Brian, your're right - its not about the service and/or the food, it's all about the company. Thanks also to Jeremy for sweeping. Tony We should learn from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Thanks Brian and everyone
Thanks Brian and everyone else for a nice ride, even though I nearly froze to death (will dress warmer next time)! Thanks also to Jeremy for letting me tag along and for being a perfect gentleman (and also for the extra sweater, haha). D

Hi everyone, This ride will start at 09h00 on Sunday morning and will leave from the usual venue at Plattekloof Engen. The route we will be taking is up the N1 to Paarl and then over Du Toits Kloof pass on to Rawsonville, around the back to Villiersdorp, turn left just outside there and down to the N2 and on to Dassiesfontein for lunch. Total distance is about 185 Km's. Look forward to seeing you all there for a great lunch ride. Brian
