Intro

The sun eventually rose over the first day of our Ben10 Eco Challenge. We had planned this for a while, and had read all the other Ben10 trip reports in the meantime, but we had to wait until it was school holidays in order for mini-me to join us.

It was [member=408]JonW[/member]’s ride report that got our planning started, and further reports from others like [member=13184]Noneking[/member], [member=21761]Highsider[/member] and [member=14258]m0lt3n[/member] just fuelled the flames of anticipation. We had originally planned for a 7 day trip, taking it at a mellow pace as the idea was not to chase time goals, but experience the views and passes. Also, we initially had a colleague joining the trip, who is a trail runner. He was planning to run all the passes, but after a spell of flu some time back decided to cancel. We decided to reduce the trip to a 5 day one, including the 2 days to travel there and back from Pta. It was going to be mini-me and I on bikes (KTM 500 and BMW G450X) and a friend (Gerhard) in a bakkie.

After booking the accommodation and planning the routes, Jaco (the trail runner) decided to join after all, so he had a new target of running all the passes in a 3 day period. Dedication? Or madness? You decide.  ???
