Greetings all,
Firstly my apologies for the delay in getting this Tour info to you all but here it now is.
Cape overnight, off road ride to the Biedouw Valley, including a night ride, and home via Wuppertal
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.

Anybody been to Argentina...?
I've been thinking of of riding thru Argentina in the next year or two.
Has anybody done this before?
I'm trying to come up with a budget, incl. bike rental.
My rough estimate is about R25k for 10 days, including flights, fuel, visas, accommodation, rental. This figure is based on some riding pillion, to share the costs.
I'm keen to hear from you, or even if you know someone who has done it.
Chris
BMW Bike Fest
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.
Harare then Kariba ... East or West from there???
So in June I am riding up to Harare to watch my son play rugby against a couple of Bob's school teams (that Bob Mugabe, not Skinstad!!). After the rugby I am heading up to Kariba for a day or two ... then I will turn East or West!
I wanted to know if any of you have done either of the routes ... from Kariba to Vic Falls and then down through Botswana and the pans OR from Kariba to the Cahora Bassa and onto Mozanbique coast and down to SA.
Thanks
Ross
