The week to Cape Town

Phil's Bike ...

Andy ... when you going to cut your hair?

Well, we left Springbok with a taste of different weather and temperatures getting noticeably cooler. We had more wind ... specifically more head-wind and temperatures were much colder. We also had some overcast weather and threats of rain ... which held back for the rest of the trip!

Phil, Remy and I continued to alter, hide, deface and torture each others bikes and rides ... as noticeable with Phil's bike in the picture above. Some people also kept growing their hair ... either too lazy or they couldn't find a hairdresser ... Andy P. looked especially sexy when he took his helmet off ...

We had one more dirt road section thru to Eland's Bay ... where we got to see the sea!! YEEHA! The second last day, to Yzerfontein was really quite tough ... we were all real tired, head-winds all the way and a definite chill in the air ... but arriving here was a definite highlight for me ... it is nearly like home (I work a lot at a stable yard around the corner and I used to own a smallholding up here till two months ago).

Thanks to all the family and friends that came to join us at the campsite in Yzerfontein ... it was real good fun! and nice to see you all.
