De Wildt – Newbies – 19 January 2008

This is a collection of photos of our 12th MuddX Newbie ride. These events are close to my heart. They are always great fun and the e-mails I get back praising the event and the work that my marshals and I do is always very rewarding. This particular ride had about 18 guests and 6 marshals.

One of our usual stops on a Newbie ride is at one of the local shebeens where we have drinks and snacks about 2/3 into the ride. We truly do give the newbies a proper African bush riding experience. Unfortunately, on this particular ride, the proprietor of our usual shebeen was at a funeral. Luckily, with my uncanny ability to sniff a Zamalek (rural speak for Carling Black Label) out from at least 25Km, I found another shebeen around the corner where we chilled for a bit.

Good times, good riding…….. again.
