- KTM 790 Adventure R Rally
I've long since been keen on attending one of the KTM Adventure Rallies in Australia or New Zealand and was delighted when I heard that South Africa will be hosting their very own. Not really sure of the format for the American and European ones, but the Australian and New Zealand ones are typically 5 days with different overnight stops. I was a little disappointed that the South African one would be 2 days of riding from the same venue, but open mind and all that. I'm not one to trailer my bike and with the event being in the Drakensberg I decided to ride there and back. To make the most of it I also wanted to do two days in Lesotho. Initially I had planned to leave Tuesday, but that did not allow enough time to include Lesotho. So my KTM Adventure Rally has turned into an 11 day, mostly solo, ride.
Day 1 - Cape Town to Willomore
Today was nothing special and I just slabbed it all the way to make time and get out of the Western Cape.
Leaving Cape Town. Was a lot colder than I had anticipated.
Some snow while approaching Ladismith.
Leaving Oudtshoorn, there was a fair bit of snow about on the nearby peaks.
