Bike used - KTM 125EXC 2007 :-
Now I know that this is off the MX subject but its definitely a ride worth mentioning. We've done this rally for three years in a row now.
The Koster Fiesta is a Charity Fun Race hosted by the local community at the beginning of March each year. This ride has really grown in popularity.
The organisers have out done themselves this year. The event was very well organised, the route was brilliantly marked. The registrations and scrutineering of bikes was done fast and efficiently. The route itself was awesome.
This year's route was done in reverse from the other years and for me this was definitely better. The previous year you hit the technical rocky section at the end of each lap. This year you started the route off in the rocky technical section right at the beginning and you know once you're past the technical section you only have the easy flat, long straights with a few windy sections left. It was for me definitely a much better route.
We always make a weekend of it and we end up going in a huge group. This year we ended up being a group of about 24 people in total and 11 actual riders.
A weekend well spent - fun had by all - a ride we always talk about for weeks on end - plan for months and complete in a few hours.
Well done to everyone that completed all three laps. I must admit its the fastest 165 kms I've ever done.
