De Wildt – 16 February 2008

The “Office” ride.

Somebody at the office asked me if I would take a group of folk that were into off-roading on a more subtle ride through De Wildt. Particularly one that was conducive to quads (did I just say that out loud?). And so it was that on Saturday the 16th of February, I met up with a bunch of colleagues and a couple of usual riding mates at the Morula Sun hotel. The ride was pleasant and for the most part, uneventful. Except, of course, for the fellow that had got towed in to the 3-Fences shop covered in mud. It seems that his “buddy”, the tow-master, really didn’t care too much that his poor, broken down mate was only 2 meters behind him and had no way of escaping the rope when said “buddy” hit the mud!

Unfortunately we also removed the wind out of the sails of one of the quad riders who tried an awkward line down to the river crossing and ended up upside down and stuck under his quad. I really did my best to stifle my giggle.
