Saturday
morning was early to rise, amazingly Gazz managed to do this,
after all he's not a morning person, maybe he wet the mattress!
We got down to Kings Beach bout 09h10, bikes, cars, people aplenty.
King's Beach car park is a great place for for all that. Up
at Demi's Train, the bikers who weren't dragging and wheeling
gathered to have coffee & chat prior to the departure of
mass ride.
|

Meanwhile
down in the carpark, there were alot of non-biking members of
the public who came to see the skills of these guys who were
doing what they love the most!
|

DRAGGING,
WHEELING & BURNING RUBBER, an awe inspring scene, even to
a Biker, These guys are GOOOD....
|

At
King's Beach, the wind had calmed, and turned out to be a beautiful
day, in which we could all cherish as able-bodied people.

Floozie
from 7de Laan to entertain the crowd. I must say this girl is
a hoot my 'Chomma".
|

There
was a fundraiser for 'special children' in a home which is run
by 'Angels of Mercy".
|

These
children, are indeed so special, they came up onto the stage
in their little wheelchairs, and the huge smiles on their faces
gave me goosebumps! These children are so brave, strong, loving,
beautiful & giving.
|

I think there is a lesson to be learnt from this! Thank you
to everyone who donated money to their cause, your generosity
is as great as their plight!!

The
Mass ride began at 11h30 from King's Beach, with the escort
of the Metro Police. as there were many bikes on the mass ride,
the Police stopped on the freeway until everyone had gathered,
|

After
waiting about 5 minutes, the mass ride continued, up into Cape
Road, William Moffet and then onto Buffelsfontein Road back
up to Beachview.
|

Gazz
told me that when we get to the top of hill in Mount Pleasant,
the bikes would take off, and that would be the end of the mass
ride. Sorry for him!

I
told him that I would like to take a couple of pictures of Theeru's
cross.
|

(It's
situated about 3km's from the campsite).
|

He
agreed & stopped so I could get some pictures.
|

Along
came Gona, (ahead of the Police escort), and asked what we were
doing. I told him just a couple of pictures at the cross and
get shots of the bikes coming down from the mass ride, past
the cross, would be a good thing.
|

He
agreed, stopped the entire mass ride, Police included. One had
to be there, the scene was awesome, sea on the one side, hill
on the other, couple of hundred bikes, all in honour of Theeru.
|

There
wasn't a minister on the mass ride, but with the help of the
police radios, we got one of the CMA to come a give a prayer
for Theeru. Thanks to the CMA, you guys are always there when
we need you the most.
