**Day 1: Friday - April 26th**

Kickstart your weekend with a burst of energy as we gather at RETZA (RETZA Royal Enfield Tours & Rentals, 9 Factor Road, Salt River, 7925 Cape Town) bright and early for a delicious spread of coffee, croissants, and refreshing juices. Get to know fellow riders and enthusiasts before we hit the road at 10:30 AM, cruising towards Barrydale with lunch and snacks stops en route. Our ride will lead us along the R101 over the old Du Toitskloof Pass and via the R62 and Montagu. Upon arrival in Barrydale, we'll settle in for a cozy pub dinner at the Karoo Art Hotel, setting the tone for a weekend of camaraderie and good vibes.

**Day 2: Saturday - April 27th**

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast at the Karoo Art Hotel before embarking on a scenic ride to Karoo62, navigating a mix of tar and gravel roads. Midday, we'll enjoy a packed lunch "in the wild" amidst breathtaking landscapes or we will stop at a local farm/Padstal on route. Then, it's time to rev things up as we join forces with the Harley Burn community for a few hours of activities, poolside relaxation, and adrenaline-pumping entertainment. Hear captivating stories from RETZA about Himalayan adventures, witness a stunt show, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Afterward, we'll head back to Barrydale via Route 62, where another delicious 2-course dinner awaits at the Karoo Art Hotel, followed by live music with Bill Knight, paying tribute to the iconic sounds of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.

**Day 3: Sunday - April 28th**

Enjoy one last breakfast at the Karoo Art Hotel before saying Good Bye to Barrydale as we make our way back to Cape Town. We head back via the stunning Tradouw Pass and the R60 via Bonnievale and Villiersdorp. With lunch stops en route, it's a final opportunity to relish the freedom of the open road and reflect on the unforgettable experiences shared during the Royal Barrydale event.
