Early Sunday morning, Bruno, Yolande and Mitch set of for a short 50 km ride that took them mostly through the forest area to the town of Kwambo. The highlight was the early morning, damp forest river section. This section is a must for the next trip.
Short breaks were taken to absorb the forest peace and serenity.
The route takes the riders under the line that services RBM mining.
Some refreshments went down well....
One wrong turn, prompted by the GPS as a short cut, took the team through a long grass section, close to an intermittent stream. Here the grass was 1 meter tall. The lead bike took the brunt of the grass seeds and bugs which set up home on the warm quad. Within minutes the bike was un-drivable with spiders and ants crawling all over the bike and rider......Eeeiiiissshhhh. By sunset, after a high pressure clean, they were still coming out of the holes in the body work......Lesson = avoid riding in long grass....
All in all - it was one of the better rides so far.
