Sunday morning we headed from Alton towards our favourite river route which led us to the power lines. Shelley, "MAD" & Michael with Pathfinder leading the route to Jolly Rubino. Shelley, with her new Kymco are becoming more acustomed to each other on every ride, with the average speed notching up and Shelley itching to clock up more and more kilometers....Light rain the night before settled the dust and made for an enjoyable ride.
The 40 km point is marked with a short stop at the dam before heading over the coastal forest dune down to the beach.
A stop at out favourite "braai spot" for a refreshment and a few pic's before heading on to the wreck of Jolly Rubino.
Arriving just in time for a lunch and a short break. Some ideas of a future, 2x day, over-night trip were discussed. No details of the date yet, but some how I think it's going to be sooner than we think...
The route home took us past a river crossing. This was a first for Shelley and Michael. With the water over the top of the tyres in sections, it had them excited. This section will be a definite inclusion on the next return trip.
The group of four made it back without incident, arriving at 14h30 in Alton.
Average speed 30km/h.
Moving time 4hr10min.
Total distance covered, 131km.
The Kymco 300, Masai 450 and the Kodiak 400, made it there and back on one tank of fuel.

It was a good ride with great company, pity you could not report on how light my Gas Gas was on juice - because it wasn't, 2 tanks full and some borrowed fuel! What would us 2 stroke bike riders do without your utilities to help carry our extra fuel!Thanks Mitch, Shelley and Mike, looking forward to the next one! M.A.D.
