It was an absolutely stunning day for the annual Boxing day ride - a bit far this year (for me anyway) - about 600km round trip to Cape
Agulhas and back: I am still stiff in all sorts of interesting places! We had quite a spectacular wind on the way back, but at least it was mostly from one direction.
First stop was Napier where we had a most wonderful brunch/lunch type stopover.
Abbu's stomach would not allow us to postpone this most important event any longer.
Ai boys - the pretty girls are BEHIND you!
Must agree, pretty bikes too though...
Off again - next stop Agulhas!
We went all the way to the lighthouse - by some fluke I was actually the first to arrive for a change...apparently destination '
Agulhas' translated to '
Arniston' to the rest of the group....maybe fast bikes kills brains :)...

Really fast biker chick arrives.
Followed - eventually - by Andy, as (Taryn quote) she goes "around cars, while Andy goes - well, behind them." Hehehe.
Really fast Scott arrives - normal people stop in FRONT of the lawn! LOL
Wes and Stacey - next time Stacey will not be on the back anymore!
Sheesh we really do manage to spread out and claim land...
Sea view from the lighthouse.
On the way back we stopped over at
Hermanus for a nice drink and snack on the beach front, where a very cool marimba band put out some tunes - no wait,
rhythms!


On the beach road en-route Gordon's Bay back we stopped a couple of time to take some pics and also to just rest my wrists which were taking a bit of strain. We did not stop long though as we soon noticed that the wind is actually worse off than on the bike!
Marc in the distance waiting for me.
Lovely view of the bay.
View of Gordon's Bay - as you can see from the water, the wind was howling.
Off again for the home-stretch.
I must admit I was absolutely finished when we got back home, but it was a great day. Now my muscles just need to recover!
