To my friend Glen, may you rest in peace.



Gryph, Trailrider, GlenInk - Elliott

We met Glen on our trip exploring the Eastern Cape passes. He gave us shelter and went out of his way to keep us comfortable. He visited us at the Rallye Raid and later on the same trip came to our rescue when Gryph had two flat tyres. We had the pleasure of returning the favour when he stayed over at our place in Glentana. We communicated regularly, but the last time I saw him was at the last EC Bash. He kept a camping space next to him for me.

Glen sadly died in a motorcycle accident on 2 February 2012 just after 10pm.

We came from different backgrounds and different parts of the country. Yet we became good friends and had a friendship that lasted. He had a BIG heart and always wanted to give.

Glen you were a true blessing in our lives and Asterix and I will never forget you.

Whats News?

• I don't ride enough anymore. With my new job I do over 2000km a week, but I don't travel. How's that for irony? Good news is that the maps are open. I am just itching for an epic ride. Watch this space...

• The South African alternative to You Tube - Zoopy - has dropped us badly. They decided to change to a mobi site and drop all our uploaded media hosted there. This has left us with a myriad of broken links. I am in the process of downloading / uploading all the media to You Tube and fixing the broken links, but as you can imagine this takes quite a bit of time. I hope to have everything fixed sometime during April. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Please mail me with any other broken links you might come across at tr@trail-rider.co.za.

• Subscribers to the feed might see some old reports being re-posted. This is because I am reworking some of the old multi-day reports into day reports with buttons like the newer posts. Some of those old posts are just to long and the "new" reports will be much more user friendly. 

• A big thank you to Tracks 4 Africa for their latest set of maps. This will ensure that we never miss a scenic route!

• I have registered the www.trail-rider.co.za web address and redirected it here, so now we have an easy to remember, proudly South African web address.

Lets keep the rubber side down.
