QUE SERA — AUGUST GS RIDE<br />
DRIX PRETORIUS<br />
Over 30 riders pitched up for this twisty turny ride. The idea<br />
was to have a slower ride on all the hidden paths south east <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Pretoria</strong> and finish at the biker-friendly Que Serra for a short<br />
ride home afterwards. With so many riders (and a lost soul<br />
who missed the start and kept phoning to find out where we<br />
were – “in the veld <strong>of</strong> course!”) there was going to be a lot <strong>of</strong><br />
stopping at turn-<strong>of</strong>fs and therefore we had to make sure everybody<br />
understood the <strong>Club</strong>’s ‘second rider stops’-procedure.<br />
Onwards we soldiered<br />
and as is tradition with<br />
a GS ride, mud will be<br />
found, even in winter.<br />
After many<br />
twisties and not<br />
so many kilometers,<br />
we took the<br />
shortest route to<br />
We turned onto the gravel quickly in Irene and the first stopwith-a-view<br />
was soon after that. From here the ride started in<br />
earnest and all the single-tracks and jeep tracks in sight were<br />
included. Left, right, left, right, disappearing amongst the tall<br />
grass, and some playing on the little hills at the Star Crater.<br />
Que Sera where we were in<br />
time for breakfast for a<br />
change. The smiles and white<br />
teeth underneath the Gauteng<br />
dust showed that we can<br />
have fun even in the winter!<br />
This was also the last <strong>Club</strong><br />
breakfast ride with our<br />
Brazilian friend Bruno …<br />
Ride well Afrazilian!<br />
