Since we all love riding mountain passes so much, and after reading The Romance of Cape Mountain Passes by Graham Ross, some riding buddies and I decided to make this a WD project.

The aim is to document as many of the passes in SA in this section as possible.  Please create a separate thread for each pass.  Name the thread the pass' real name (for future indexing and  searching purposes).  Try and provide us with the following:

- Its location - either on a map (graphic), typed directions or GPS co-ordinates - or a combination
- A short history of the pass, especially its previous names, the builder, alternative routes etc
- A few pics of the pass
- A pic of the sign with the pass's name on, with your bike in background off-course ;D
- Interesting stats like its altitude, the road condition, length etc

Don't worry if you don't get everything with the first try, since its a WD project others will fill in the gaps as they too explore these beautiful passes of our country.  So feel free to add to other's posts.

I have about 83 passes in the old Cape Province documented on my map - i'll start posting the names soon

You're welcome to offer further suggestions to improve this project.

Cheers
Hein
