Verneukpan dirt trip 20 - 22 March 2010

Day 1: Saturday 20 March: Goodwood – Ceres – Calvinia – Brandvlei - Verneukpan: 634km

It’s a beautiful morning. Cool and fresh; high temperatures were forecast for the rest of the day and weekend. The excitement was pretty high as we on our way to another weekend adventure. We got up at 5am, the bikes were already loaded the Friday evening and we just awaiting Janes to arrive on his Transalp 750. Schalk were already at our house, ready and just as excited.

Janes arrives, one could see the excitement in his body language. It’s his first bike adventure so we want to make it extra special so I threw in as many dirt roads as possible as my game-plan was to get his nice clean bike as dirty as possible. “Bosvark” looked way too clean and needed some much needed dust and dirt to represent his name. We off, just turned 6:30am; the bikes woke half the neighborhood. We on our way to Verneukpan and our adventure has just begun.
