Die Burger approached me do another article of an off-road Motorbike Adventure that took place on the weekend. I thought this to be a cool opportunity, so I decided to join in on the fun.
Moto Adventures are organized by Mouton Van Zyl and each trip takes a different scenic route. The trip I joined went through the Swartland district and took the gravel back roads up to Elandsbaai.
The sceneries were beautiful and the route was lots of fun. I had the chance to sit on the back of one of the bikes and cruised with the 40 other bikers. Wearing an open-face helmet was not the brightest idea as I was soon covered in dust. I drove with Mouton in his bakkie for the rest of the route, stopping every now and then to take a photo.
Our accommodation was at the Rivera Hotel in Veldrift and the next morning everyone went their own ways back to Cape Town.
I really enjoyed this trip, even though I was not on a bike. Anybody is welcome to join the group and for a small fee you get to see some beautiful back roads with back-up assistance and a bed.
If you are into off-road bikes and want to share a good time with laidback people, then this trip is for you. One day I would love to do similar trips, but for now I’ll keep to my scooter.
