Are you going?

24 - 27 September 2008, somewhere north.. Who's going?

I'm going somewhere south - by train!!

Sure that will be a challenge (GS) in it's own right

I'll be at the challenge again, will not miss it for the world!!!!!!!!

I want to go for my first GS Challenge this year . How do I go about booking it ?

We will let you guys/gals know as soon as the registration opens, but you could also check in on there website http://www.gagsc.com they will soon open for registrations.

I'll be there for sure. Probably not that long a ride for us guys/gals from Pretoria

I think we should stick with our tradition and make it a two day trip to the challange, what do you GSers say about that

When do you anticipate the entries will open for this year's challenge? I see last year it opened at the end of June?

Champing at the bit, are we...?

I plan to go myself this year - if the money's OK !
"Have tent, will travel...."

I am sure the money will be OK - these things tend to sort themselves out quite nicely!

My 1st one, cant wait

booked already, baas leon? Apparently they have almost reached the 400 entry cap...

jip booked and ready to go, think it will be interesting doing the red route as a first timer!

If I understand everything I have read correctly, you are only able to do the red route once you have completed the advanced off road course. am I correct?

Eich, hope not! If I read it is looks like the course will help a lot but do not think it’s a prerequisite for the route, will be great if any 1 can help us on this point.

OK you wiz kids, I'm not sure about the colour codes, but red sounds like bike breaker! BMW SA's delight! and I understand trailers are not allowed? sh1t this is going to be a long haul.

Wonder if Pauli and Koker are up to it?

Hey Leon,

Take that green mountian goat of yours for the Red Route !!!!

I have consulted the Minister of Finance and I will.....



....NOT be going. I need to get some off-road gear first and the increased interest rates have murdered my budget, so....

(sniff)

I'm staying behind...!


....unless some kind benefactor would care to sponsor a noobie GS entrant.....didn't think so.

Will just put a KDX (alias John Deer) sticker on the beemer and whala!

You can ride whatever routes you please, but I must say that the red route is probably not the same, after the launch of the smaller tipe X-Challenge 650's etc. In my opinion a "bike breaker".....

Kort Gat is nou Bang Gat!

This pic was teken during the Recce for the GS Challence this year (or so I think)

I guess we can expect some sand !!!



Lekker !!!!

Let op die sand op die linker kanste hand beskermer. Lekker geval!!!

Daai tipe sand is nie maklik nie. Jy moet ten minste 3de rat wees voor jy wegkom en glo my dit vat 'n gespook om by 3de uit te kom!!!

Teen die tyd wat jy by die droe rivierloop uitkom sal daar ook 'n 100 spore met 'n vasgevalde fiets plek-plek in die sand wees.

Bring maar spaar koppelaars saam!!!!
