"Living one's passion adds to you as a person, adds to the memories you will hold when you are no longer capable to do whatever you want to. To be able to live, you need to feel alive. To feel alive, you need to continuously depart from the comfort zone you have created for yourself"

With this in mind, let’s follow a slightly different approach in giving a photo essay account of the ladies trip by showing all the places that were visited on the trip. It should help to hold the memories as some of the places on this trip, will most likely never be visited again by some of us and btw, what better example of "you need to continuously depart from the comfort zone you have created for yourself" than the ladies on the trip.......especially the ones who did it as a first trip.

Apologies where the same bike appears again and again at some of the road signs

methinks the ladies deserve special recognition.......therefore the individual faces of the ladies who made the trip (in no particular order)………not sure if they would approve if a name was put to the face, so it was left out.

To the ladies of the open road... and the men with their BIG BIKES... thanks for the opportunity to do what we love so much!

Special thanks to Trudie for all the arrangements and for taking the lead - and to Dorothy for checking our backs!


Well done Maureen - a new member to the Club and new to riding - but after the weekend's 1000kms, she's part of the 'family'!


And of course also a Thanks to the photographer!

The weekend trip was a great success! Thank you to anybody and everybody who contributed to making it such a special event! Hopefully next year I will do this trip sitting on my own bike!

And to all the others, thanks for your company. It was a trip to remember for a long time, ...for various reasons. I won't elaborate as what happens on a trip, stays on the trip. For those dying of curiosity, make sure to join the trip next year!

ping BMW (Admin) & Sias........you have a pm

Wow.Looks like I missed a good one.
Thanks for all the pics - always great to see.
Well done, looks like it was a great success !

Dorothy, please don't get too comfortable as sweep. I know you like the speed up front as well !

Well done to all !

Morning Everyone

Thanks to all the ladies who made the ride what it was - I think Trudi deserves a special mention but also Dorothy for sweeping and Isolde for driving the back up vehicle. Kudo's to Maureen who was riding (and leading) with much more confidence by Sunday. I think a three day trip is in order next year. Thanks also to everyone who took such great photo's.

And for Trudi's sake , what goes on tour will stay on tour!

Congrats to the Ladies!

Thank you for letting us ride a bit with you.

I also just wanted to thank and congratulate all the ladies for organizing, facilitating and participating. This was a very memorable trip. With some interesting jokes from the ladies around the camp fire...but hey...you had to be there!

Thanks everyone for the great pics. Will soon start planning next year's trip.

I just want to thank everyone for teaching me, encouraging me and tolerating an ex wobler. This rates as a major WOW in my memory box. Looking forward to the next event!!!!!!

Don't worry, kid, all of us were new riders in one century or another.....

Well done Scarlet01
