Our last fuel stop was Middelburg, and I would be wise to listen to a student in my search for rusks, Michelle knew just where to shop for rusks, and Debbie proved this by popping into a coffee shop across the road from the gas station, one just HAS to have proper boere rusks with coffee for breakfast....our last stretch included a 30km dirt road to Ganora Lodge, now while the XR 1000 has no pretences of being a dual sport bike, it coped very well, 17” front wheel, firm suspension and all, the dirt road was in fairly good condition, the XR coped a lot better than I thought it would, speedshifters are great fun even on dirt. We arrived late afternoon at our venue, Ganora Lodge, www.ganora.co.za, most people had arrived before us, some serious chilling out was being done...Ganora Lodge is a guest lodge/farm near to Nieu Bethesda, run by Hester and JP, which offers all types of accommodation, self catering 6 sleeper cottage, (which I had), catered 2 sleeper accommodation, rough and ready barn for groups, camping, you name it, Ganora caters for all. That night we all enjoyed a festive braai, meeting new faces and catching up with old friends, unwinding from the hectic life most of us endure. There is an onsite honesty bar, awesome food, and very attentive hosts; one cannot fault Ganora Lodge... Saturday morning after breakfast, those that had not gone off to explore the dirt routes in the area, headed to Nieu Bethesda, a town where time seems to have frozen about 40 years ago, the main highlight being the Owl House, where Helen Martins lived for many years, creating various sculptures of owls, camels, people, a place you just have to visit, it would take pages to highlight the aspects of this museum, Google it for more info...thereafter we visited the Fossil Museum, well worth a visit, then off to the Brewery on outskirts of town, a chill zone of note, in fact I was so relaxed by then the ride back to Ganora Lodge became quite an arduous task, but once back at the lodge all was well. After the mandatory group photo we sat around sharing the day’s experiences, 64 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE JANUARY 2016 1601 DT Kurt adv.indd 64 2015/12/16 9:47 AM
