Multi-day

Overnight ride to Lamberts Bay

Hi

We are doing a trip from Cape Town, through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. (including Fish River canyon, Klein Aus Vista, Sossusvlei, Etosha, Caprivi strip, Chobe, Vic Falls) We leave 21 June 2013 (beginning of school holidays)

I will be on my bike, and a friend and my wife in a Landrover. We will be camping. I have done all the campsite bookings already.

If anyone is interested, available and keen to join us (on bikes or in the Landrover) please contact me asap for more details.

It’s the winter time and my favorite time of the year to camp and be out in the bush, so it’s time to visit an old favorite and therefore we are planning an overnight ride to the Buffelspoort Campsites near Ladismith for the weekend of 29 – 30 June 2013.

Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa Sutherland here we come for the Annual BMW MCC Cape Winter Ride.

This ride held every year in Winter has always been one of the highlights of the Club ride calendar and this year is sure to be no different.

As usual we will have 3/4 groups going on this very popular weekend. We encourage you to persuade your partners to come along with you and enjoy the ride and evening with us.

Group 1 will be for the roadies (Ride leader TBC)

DAY 1 – 350kms

Monday mornings are not usually the best time for most people – me included. But today was different. I would only be going to work for a total of 15 minutes on my way out of town.

That we did ourselves a favour to add margin to our holiday by taking a day off before and after the this 4020km trip is a gross understatement.  Today, after the trip, I realise how much it is allowing me to savour the many special moments, as well as the long slow riding. Geoff, thanks again and again from the two of us.  Your ability to keep us going, organised and amply catered for is amazing.  I'm still thinking of chirping about passing you (once, on a straight, when …) but I know, best to say no more :-)

Over the years there have been requests for a "Roadies" Tour to Namibia but we have just never had the time to put such a Tour together. Now that I have some time on my hands and in discussion with Warren we have decided to offer a Club Tour to Namibia.

The Tour itinerary would look something like the following ;

Day 1) Depart Cape town on the N7 heading for Okiep where we spend our first night.

Day 2) Depart Springbok for Vioolsdrift where we cross the border into Namibia heading for Keetmanshoop where we turn off to Seeheim where we overnight.
