by Thomas Charles John Bain (1830-1893)

16km long between the two hamlets of Klaarstroom and De Rust along the N12 highway.
Named after local farmer Petrus Johannes Meiring

A biker's delight! Excellent tarred surface. Sweeping banked curves with occasional quick twists. The towering cliffs of the Groot Swartberge make you want to look up but beware of the sudden turns and oncoming traffic.
A marvel to ride. Every biker should ride it at least twice. Once slow, taking in the cliffs, and the second time as fast as you dare, putting your knee down.

Nearby attractions are the Cango Caves and the awesome Swartberg Pass. There is an Aventura camp site nearby which offers good facilities at a reasonable price. Unfortunately I don't have details
