In September 2004 myself and Peaches did a trip down the West Coast to Cape Town, and back up the East Coast, the trip was very enjoyable up until Hermanus, where we met up with our group, and mainly due to bad communication the rest of the trip was not that much fun for us, I never wrote a story about this trip but thought I would post some of the pictures from this trip. We did the entire trip in the middle of a cold front, and only camped once, most of the nights were sub zero, and the entire trip was done with winter gear, often riding with heated grips switched on, even in the middle of the day.
The route was JHB, Kuruman, Upington, Springbok, Cape Town,Hermanus, L?Agulhas, Montague, Ladismith, Calitzdorp, George, Knysna, Jeffries Bay, Gariep Dam, Clarens, Golden Gate and then home.
