It was time for a solo Sunday ride. I previously made some notes for roads heading south towards Val and around 2012 I rode some of them with Rooi as well on the way to the bash. I decided it was time to check it out again, it is not an area I rode a lot previously. Also partly inspired by Armpie's history lesson I was hoping to see some Boer War sites along the way. I only left Pta around 8:45 or so, the weather looked good though at 23 degrees. The first bit up to Delmas was all tar, from there I got onto the first dirt and promptly rode through a colliery and in the process black facing my bike
The country side was rather flat and mielie fields all over. Very flat.
