And its less than 6 months to go. After a bit of persuading ……. well not really , we have been looking for any excuse to go back to Africa ….. we have provisionally booked a couple of dates in November & December this year, to take another group for that awesome trail ride adventure with Alfie Cox.
The trip will be going 14 to 22 Nov, or for those that can’t make those dates, we also have a trip on 5 to 13 Dec. The format will be the same as last time we went, with 6 days of riding over a 9 day period. The riding will be in two different regions of Southern Africa – Transkei (Xhosa tribal region) and KZN (Zulu tribal region). Alfie will supply bikes – all KTM 4strokes.
The inclusions will be 8 nights accommodation (Beach front resort for the 1st 4 nights and then hinterland cottage style holiday accomodation for the last 4 nights), brekky, lunch and dinner every day (mostly restaurant meals at night). All pick ups and transfers to / from airports. Transfers between the 2 riding locations .An African wildlife game park safari. Bike hire and all fuel costs. All trails escorted by Alfie Cox. The total cost for the above will be around $3,000 (expect small fluctuations in cost if exchange rates change before trip) .
And then of course you will have your airfare – I have just booked ours at a price of $1900 each return (Qantas). But there are other discounts trips available from around $1550.
The story of our previous trip was published in Dirt Action magazine. But if you didn’t get to read it, here is the link to the OBT blog version – http://www.obtrailriders.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=56&func=view&catid=2&id=77289 – this will give you an idea of the magnificent country that you will be riding in. The ride caters for all levels of rider.
If you are interested in joining us then let me know, (probably easiest to PM me, or just call on 0415 894 865 to discuss) or if you think anyone else you know may be interested, can you please pass this information on …… I can only take 6 riders! so we will have to do this on “first come, first served”. We need to make a $1000 per rider deposit on booking and then the balance to be paid 3 months prior to departure.
If you would like to book the wife in to a wildlife game lodge while we are out riding ….. that can be arranged (bribery will get you everywhere !!)
An update on the 2010 Alfie Cox Trail Ride Adventure trips ……..
Both November & December dates are now fully booked. So we can’t take any more bookings for those dates but anyone interested in going at a different time then just drop us a PM or call (0415 894 865), and we will try and fit another ride in.
We have also had some enquiries about planning a trip in 2011, so if you are perhaps interested then just register your interest with us and we will keep you informed as things develop.
The recent positive coverage that South Africa has had during the World Cup Soccer, has resulted in a large increase in enquiries for the Alfie Cox Ride, from all over the world. As a result, we need to plan and book a ride date, as far ahead as possible.

…..…..…..Good luck with the “Roof” mate. I’m sure you’ll finish and not last either.
Enjoy the trail ride with Alfie. The last ride report from KTM05 was awesome.
Are you riding 4T or 2T for the trail ride?
Hi Mal5.1
KTM_Rules rode a Husaberg 300 for the Alfie Cox Ride as well as the Roof of Africa event. We managed to order an early delivery of his ACR hire bike so that he could get used to it for the RoA event.
He won the RtH section on day one of the RoA – a great ride. We had 4 Aussies competing there this year and all had a good ride. The event definitely lives up to its name as an EXTREME enduro. The rest of us were spectators and support, and had a great experience

Hi TB, there will be a story – but timeframe unknown. In the meantime here is another shot of KTM_Rules enjoying himself on Day 1 of RoA.
