We are planning an overnight ride to the Buffelspoort Campsites near Ladismith for the weekend of 10 - 11 December 2011. Warren and Natalie Ellwood will be your hosts for this weekend trip to one the seven fantastic poorts that cut through the Swartberg Mountain Range. This off road ride will suit riders of all levels.
Our destination is the farm Van Zyl’s Damme belonging to the Nel family. The campsite, known as the Buffelspoort Campsite lies very close to the southern end of the famous Buffelspoort and offers shaded and grassed camping areas with full ablutions and hot showers.

We shall be running a Bike Setup afternoon this coming Saturday at SupaQuick in Parow.
The longer serving members will remember how often we had the Club's more ADVANCED Off Road Day rides and they were always very popular.
I have been receiving requests again to arrange another one. This ride will not suit beginners or even semi beginners. It is aimed at the above average rider.
The inevitable question I get is "how bad is the route"? Well not bad at all in fact it is merely that we leave Cape Town early in the morning (after a Wimpy breakfast) and we get home in the late afternoon/early evening and we stop very seldom along the way.
This is a fairly long ride around 180km one way, thus we will depart a little earlier than usual at 07:30am. Abbey Rose in Greyton is our destination.
We are planning an overnight ride to a mystery location for the weekend of 21-22 January 2012. Warren and Natalie Ellwood will be your hosts for this weekend visit to another brand new venue for the BMW Club. In due time, a few clues will be given out and there will be a small something for the first person that can guess where we are going.

The All Bike Race Day is the only event in the year exclusively for Motorcycles and is undoubtedly the highlight for many riders. “Amateurs” are able to compete via a registration and MSA licencing process in place specifically for this event which attracts a far larger field than the regional race days. In addition the event is run along the lines of a biker’s festival with a variety of stalls and festivities for the entire family.
I have arranged with my farmer friends with the old quarry in the Kalbaskraal area to take another group of club members to their farm where you can spend as long as you want practicing what ever you want across the varied terrain on offer there.
This is your opportunity to brush up on anything you feel you need to without the pressure of getting to a destination or convoy riding, very relaxed and all in your own time.
After the weekend’s great ride to Greyton, let’s add another Tar ride, this time to Tulbach.

We are planning an overnight ride to the Biedouw Valley for the weekend of 25 to 26 February 2012.
The weekend will consist of a fairly direct route there, an afternoon spent relaxing and swimming at the pools and then a 60km night drive (in pairs) down to the Doring River. Then home on Sunday via everyone’s “must do” route of Wupperthal, Esel Bank, the Cederberg Oasis and Ceres. So a full action packed weekend with plenty of riding and awesome scenery.
