Droelandskloof Pass - perfect for adventure bikes

[Trygve Roberts]

If you're in the Western Cape, here's a lekker gravel route where you are highly unlikely to see another vehicle. All within 2 hours from Cape Town. This long gravel road offers a visually enjoyable and remote ride, which is not too technical. The only negative is that there are a number of farm gates that need to be opened and closed.

We recently refilmed this route over a three piece video set in perfect blue sky conditions and have upgraded the page and text as well.

The ride out from the summit can be a bit tricky if you haven't plotted the waypoints, but we have provided a detailed route description with GPS data. Allow 2 hours to complete the route from tar to tar. The page is open to all until April 22nd. Enjoy!

I had the chance to ride this pass with a group earlier this year, from the top of Theronspass down to the R355. Dry, remote and beautiful.

Unfortunately the new owner of the farm at the far Eastern end, Rooifontein on most maps, has decided to lock a gate at the Western edge of his property, so this is no longer a through road.
There is also a new gate structure at the Eastern end (near the R355) which I assume is also likely to be locked.
Very sad, as this has been our preferred route to the Tankwa (Eastward) and to Cederberg (Westward).

Nog n jammerte, maar daar is seker ook n goeie rede voor
