This is a duo Ride Report with Yellowfever (he has a lot more photos than I do). Most spots he took stills while I took video. All the videos will be be available on my blog later.
I was fortunate enough to join some Cape WDâ??s on an Epic journey through the Great Karoo. And what a ride it was!
The route ran through various passes and towns Iâ??ve never been to with long distance days perfect for the bigger bike I got recently. Our fearless leader promised us good roads with lots of scenery and 5 star accommodation - he organized two Wool sheds on Karoo farms where we could lay our heads during the cold winter nights.
The trip would run over 4 days and 3 nights, with the last night spent in Seweweeks Poort in a real bed.
The route was as follows:
We would meet up at the Wimpy in Ceres on Friday Morning at 8, grab breakfast and leave at 9 sharp. Depending on the time and weather conditions we would take the route over Katbakkies Pass or the shorter route. We all wanted to take the Katbakkies route, but we would decide on the day since that route would mean between 500 - 600km for the first day.
I left George on Thursday already to sleep over on Ektoknbikeâ??s farm. Ektoknbike, Piksteel, Yellowfever (who would join us from CT) and I would leave together for Ceres on Friday morning. The weather forecast for the coming days werenâ??t good, but not to bad either:
I couldnâ??t waitâ?¦
