Route1: Ceres R355 to Calvinia
Fast, boring but still too technical for some (hi to the guys in the Defender with two GS on the trailer on 30-12-06

)
The spring flowers will probably be gone by then.
Route2: Ceres - Gydo Pass - Matjiesrivier - Algeria - Clanwilliam - R364 to Calvinia. Mostly easy and lots better than route1. Bombed out and soft in sections (Jan2007 and almost every previous trip). The blockage of the flooddrift at Matjiesrivier after heavy rain can add a lot of excitement & fun in the form of a rocky and muddy alternative route.
Even better: Route 3: Ceres - R355 - Katbakkies - Matjiesrivier - Eselsbank - Wupperthal - Uitspankral - R355 - Calvinia.
Great fun with a DR or XR650. Ok with most other 650's and sufficient riding skill. The route from Matjiesrivier to Wupperthal is a bit technical as well as the track from Uitspankraal to the R 355. The ford through the Doring River might not be passable in late September but you can skip this section and cross the river using the bridge at Doringbos (R 364)
Won't be able to come along as we will be on my own mission CT - Cederberg - Sutherland - Calitzdorp - Die Hel - Knysna - Vanwyksdorp - Robertson - CT Sept. 22 - 29
