A while ago McDuff asked about the Oude Muragie road, so here it is. This is a ride report from March 2007. I never posted it as we left on the epic ride right after this. Itâ??s a little ride we did with Eisbein and Captain Slow while we camped at the Cango Mountain Resort during the KKNK 2007.

While in Oudtshoorn we had a little Wild Dog get together where we met Captain Slow as well as Eisbein & Vicky. It wasnâ??t long before we hatched a plan to take a ride the next morning along the Oude Muragie road and visit the â??Rus & Vredeâ? waterfall.

So gese, so gedaan:

First stop was at the waterfall.

Itâ??s a short walk through the kloof to get to the waterfall, but its well worth it.

The nature scenery is spectacular right up to the waterfall.

You walk along pathways and over narrow walkways along the Kloof until it opens up at the amazing waterfall. Itâ??s not so big, but by the time you see it youâ??re very close to it so the height of the fall is spectacular.

This is Outdshoornâ??s source of drinking water. Itâ??s crispy cold, clean and delicious. Captian Slow sampled some â?? or was he doing a Golem impression?  ;D

Well, the rest of the Oude Muragie road awaited and we set out to have breakfast in De Rust.

This road is just a pleasure to ride. The scenery changes and varies and when you ride the road in the opposite direction it feels like youâ??re on a different route.

Not only was the day filled with spectacular scenery, but we forged new friendships that will last a lifetime. What could be better than that?
