Greetings all,

Firstly my apologies for the delay in getting this Tour info to you all but here it now is.

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.

Hi all,

After the weekend’s great ride to Greyton, let’s add another Tar ride, this time to Tulbach.

Ride Details

 Destination: Things i Love - Tulbagh
 Meal: Breakfast
 Ride Cpt: John Geldenhuys (082 938 2525) 

As this is summer, and the sun does make its presence felt earlier, if everyone who will be joining could be at the meeting spot and ready to depart by 07h30am.

Bookings have just opened for the BMW Clubs Africa BMW Bike Fest 2012 – to take place 27 to 30 April 2012 – in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape.  (27th April is a public holiday, and so is May 1st).

The last two years this was held in Oudtshoorn, and was by far the best event Julie and I have attended.  The program for Grahamstown promises new terrain, and the festival atmosphere that only Grahamstown can offer. 

The first ever official BMWMCC Pensioners Run will take place on Wednesday 1 February.

So what is a Pensioners Run I hear you asking?

First of all, I must apologize, I sort of stole this idea off Jacques Botha and Geoff Edwards, but I reckon it’s such a good idea, it’s worth whatever punishment comes my way.

So the first ever official BMWMCC Pensioners Run will take place on Wednesday 1 February, which just happens to be my “naming day” so perhaps I’ll take the day off and go with.

The longer serving members will remember how often we had the Club's more ADVANCED Off Road Day rides and they were always very popular.

I have been receiving requests again to arrange another one. This ride will not suit beginners or even semi beginners. It is aimed at the above average rider.

The BMWMCCC has organised a club off-road beginners ride Sunday 8th January 350km - Stanford and back.

START POINT 08H00 SUNDAY 8TH AT THE BP/WILD BEAN ON THE N2 JUST AFTER SOMERSET WEST.

Pillion friendly, low speeds, good  gravel roads, whatever the weather- we will ride.

Ideal opportunity to get kilometers under your belt and get more comfortable riding on gravel roads.
