I've finally managed to put everything together, so here it is.

The meeting point was at Lanners Landing, Klapmuts. A full 110 bikes including a much discussed Vespa scooter.

The route for Saturday took us over Franschhoek pass, down Eerstehoop through the Van der Stel pass towards Bot River, and then tar all the way to Riviersonderend. From there we went past Protem all the way to Malgas, and back to the N1 at Swellendam to get to the overnight spot at Buffeljagsdam.

Day 2 was a bit more adventourous, with a water crossing, another water crossing turned into railway riding, a mud hole, and then some nice gravel for the final strech.
