Yes I put Losper in the heading, it sums up the type of ride the best.

IOW, epic.

Normally I join Henk for Lesotho rides, but it was his turn to come to my valley for a ride, and see what the Northern Cape had to offer. I had to plan the route and was a little worried that it will not deliver. Our standards in Lesotho have been pretty high. But then I called Losper for some tips and him being him, he send us sommer a completely worked out route.

Henk drove through from Bethlehem Thursday morning, hooked the trailer here in Kathu and we slept that night at Pofadder Hotel. Original plan was to sleep at Klein Pella guest house but they were still covid closed. This added 50km ride per bike to the first day which was already to much for the poor range on these bikes. So this was our biggest worry pre trip, fuel. We ended up taking 2 litres of petrol with in bottles.

Friday came and by 7am we were on the road. My first proper trip on the 990 and I was really enjoying it already!
The road surface was good and the scenery soon turned epic. I managed some awesome pics!

That Last pic is always an awesome spot. You ride and relax and then just have this great scene suddenly unfold in front of you
