If there’s one thing the off-road/adventure community knows how to do well, it is to plan, organise and attend some epic riding events. The levels of enthusiasm for such events stretches all the way from the kitchen staff preparing sustenance for the participants through to the men and women who spend days and weeks working out and scouting the routes, not forgetting those who make the event a success by attending and
taking part.
Over the weekend of the 18-22 October, ADA Outdoor Centre played host to Rallye Raid Harties, two days and two nights of adventure bike riding, and is open to both plastic bikes and adventure models.
Heine Engelbrecht and the team at ADA put on a great show and new routes were explored around the Cradle of Humankind, made possible by farm access generously granted by the farm owners.
Day one featured routes around Magaliesburg, while day two took in routes around Segwati Trails. On both days, riders were able to ride routes never before been available to motorbikes, bringing something genuinely new to the event.
As usual, the motorcycle industry of South Africa came to the party, with Yamaha South Africa being a notable supporter, having a prominent presence at ADA and offering support to Yamaha riders who were taking part.
