You are hereby invited to a scenic, adventure-filled weekend of fun, led by the BMW Motorrad Club Cape training team.

We will be making George our home-base to go and explore the amazing passes in the area (7 Passes, Robinson, Montague, Kom se pad, Prince Alfred, Attaquaskloof to name a few depending on conditions).
We have a fun-filled weekend planned, that will assist you to gain confidence on your motorcycle, various environments, and touring. The long weekend will consist of a long-distance ride to our destination, which will be used as a home-base for exploring in the area. We have interesting routes planned for various skill levels that would suit Level 1 and Level 2 riders that have completed the BMW training days. The level 1 routes will be basic on hard-compact gravel and tar mountain passes, while the level 2 routes will take riders through a variety of gravel-highways, jeep tracks and mountain trails.
Riders are welcome to bring partners/pillions along. The more the merrier. There is also plenty of time for partners to relax and enjoy the scenery and hiking trails at the accommodation should they wish to.
This weekend is suitable for those riders new to gravel or to take you to the next level. The level 1 route will be pillion friendly. Level 1 & pillion and Level 2 riders will form two separate groups. The purpose of this weekend is to build up kilometres under the belt, gain experience in motorcycle touring and help you be a more relaxed and experienced rider on the “loose stuff”.

About the rides & training:

There will be plenty of stops to adjust your gear and bike as needed, because this makes your ride more comfortable.

The Level 1 and Pillion group will be led by Neels and Carel and will take you on a relaxed, scenic route with stops to discuss and demonstrate rider position and techniques. The route will take you on farm roads with suitable surfaces for the beginner or the rider who needs to clear the cobwebs.

The Level 2 group will be led by Arno & Theo and will take you on a route with more challenging and technical areas. Only riders who have completed the Level 2 training/or similar advanced training days will be allowed on this ride.
Both groups will re-group at the home-base on the two days to catch up on the day’s adventures.

What is included:

Accommodation, dinner, breakfast, back-up vehicle with trailer accommodating 2x motorcycles and training fees. (Fuel, snacks etc will be for your own account).
