Rough and Ready Adventure Training
Above and to the right you will find a picture of a guy that is madly in love with his bikes and all the different roads he has travelled. Whilst eagerly waiting for the next unexplored route he can ride on towards the horizon he wants to share his Adventure skills!!
Rony Desodt has done more than 500 000 km’s since the first time he got on a bike, he has travelled the southern African continent all over and is very familiar with the less travelled roads in and around South Africa, the places he knows the best are that of Baviaanskloof, Cederberg, Sani Pass, Namibia, Verneukpan and the Northern Cape.
He is one of a few that have taken a bike down Van Zyl’s Pass (twice) in Namibia …and the list goes on. Rony does not like tar and you may somewhere on a trip find him sleeping in his full kit rather than in a sleeping bag! Rony has completed almost every course offered by Country Trax, South Africa’s official training facility and has done the advanced course at BMW Hechtlingen in Germany and with Country Trax South Africa.
In his vocabulary, tar is a swear word and if it was that there was a gravel road between his house and the office, he would rather go that way.
Rony has in the past assisted in many training courses, so he knows what the important aspects are and added his experiences to the curriculum and knows very well how to convey this to his students. The courses and training days he has put together are concentrating on specific needs an individual may have and varies from Introductory to Intermediate level or a combination of these. Specific advanced training can be booked. Trip planning and discussions will also be part of the course.
The training will be safe and safety will be the main area he will concentrate on, no one will be forced or allowed to do anything out of his or her comfort zone. Other experienced riders and instructors are drawn in to assist during these sessions.
A typical training day will start at 8:30am and aims to finish no later than 16:00pm. Some courses are multi-day events and take place in one of the most beautiful environments a few hundred kilometres outside of Cape Town or Port Elizabeth!
An “outride” with some surprises closes each day!
