Sergio's write-up is as follows:
Date : 06.01.2008
Meeting place : Birdswood entrance to forest (before airport)
number of quads/bikes/riders : 21 quads - 2 bikes - 23 riders in total
Distance covered : +- 100km's
Any other GPS data : see above - maps and gps data.
This outride was arranged as one of our riders (Tannie Jenny - who is over 60 , rides a Polaris 250) was going in for an operation on the 7th and would not be able to ride for 2 to 3 months.
The group met behind Birdswood and departed at 07h00am, stopping at various spots on the way for drinks. We met our back up bakkie (driven by my father in law) at the Sokhulu / RbM
crossing.
From there we rode to the RBM concrete dam and then down to the beach, where we all braaied some meat and had a social. Some of the guys then rode to the Jolly Robino.
The ride was fantastic as we had good company and cool weather with some light rain.
Michelle rolled her Kymco 300 Maxxer just before we got to the beach - luckily, it was on the soft sand so she was fine, but her bike suffered a few scratches and broken front plastics.
From the beach we rode almost to Kwambo, turning into the forest and making our way back to my house at Veldenvlei in the late afternoon.
The group of riders that rode varied in age from 7 years old to 62 years old and the quads ranged from a 90cc Polaris to a couple of 800cc Can-Ams.
