Check out this Yamaha convention under a tree at the Birdswood track !That's 2 x 700 Raptors, 1 x 350 Raptor and 1 x Big Bear 250...all that blue in one place could be intimidating....but not to those who ride the toughest ATV's in the business...
Thaven returned to the biking scene with enthusiasm beyond his physical limitations(didn't realise a mere two and a half week layoff would result in such stiff joints and body aches once back on the bike) ....but the spirit and the crew was willing....
Date : 3 January 2007
Riders : Vincent, Thaven, Jerome, Gary
Route : Part of an existing track between Richards Bay and Kwambo covered by Jerome the day before .
Weather : Scorcher (+30deg)
The route proved to be quite enjoyable with a few technical water crossings and uneven descents. For the most part it was flat out gunning through some pretty cool forest roads.
PS. Watch out for those ominous tree stumps that lay hidden in the thick under growth. You only need to hit these things once to realise that in the world of out door quad adventure the tree stump is king.
On route home the lads decided to try out the local track at the airport were we met Aroon who was eager to get down to some serious trail blazing. After a few hectic laps on the track the lads headed home via some serious back roads while Thaven luckily opted to drive Aroon's bakkie back. It was clear from the general condition of the muddy clothing upon return that the best part of the trip was definitely saved for the last 3km home.
