December meant it was time for our annual Swartberg Gnarly ride.

Saturday was the tough day and hectic winter rains in the Swartberg would mean a bit tougher than usual. Easy scenic paths from Koedoeskloof (Ladysmith) to Calitzdorp and Kruisrivier on route to the fun stuff.

Testament to the ability of the big KTM1190R & 1290R as well as really capable riders for getting through some seriously gnarly terrain in the highest regions of the Swartberg. 50km in 7 hours tells a tale.

Sunday we chilled and eased our way back to Koedoeskloof Guest House via Floriskraal Dam rd and Sewewekspoort.

Special thanks to Eugene at Koedoeskloof Guest House for the great burgers and hospitality on Friday evening. Without doubt the place to stay if you're in the area.

Enjoy the pics and let us know if you'd like to join next year.
