4. Padda going through a large puddle of mud and water (and doing it first time without getting stuck)
5. Having a beer at Lighties Sports bar and riding home.
Herman had a hard time getting stuck quite a few time - not due to bad riding but as he has temporary tires on his bike which are designed for track riding and not outriding as we do...............but this did not mean we did not tease him.............

PADDA, SERG, STEWARD & MITCH POSE AFTER RIDING THROUGH THE BOGOn Sunday, before lunch,we (Padda, Leon, Herman, Mitch,Bruno, Steward and myself) decided to go on an exploration outride :
Starting at Mthlatuze Water Board, we proceeded around its fence, leading to the river, we then tried to follow the river or find a route to the Nselni Bridge, making it about one-fifth of the way (some of us getting stuck in the mud and bog a few times), then following the railway line until we found a Shabeen near the Spoornet Nsezi Depot. Stopping there for a ice cold refreshment. Then riding to the Nseleni river stopping at a shaded spot on the river enjoying the view and another ice cold refreshment.
At about 14h30 Mitch and Bruno had to leave the group and ride home.
The remaining group then decided to ride to the track. At the track Herman showed us all how to get free airtime, while Padda showed us how to cross a huge mud pool without getting stuck.
At the track we all met our friend Denver (he joined us for the last exploration ride around Lake Hlabane) We then left the track to escort Herman home, stopping off at Lighties Sports bar to get Padda a coke and the rest of us decided to also enjoy an ice cold refreshment. After leaving Lighties we rode home.
