    BAVIAANS CURRENT CONDITION REPORTS

    It was all pretty straightforward - a little rutty on some of the climbs but no dramas (solo on an xt660z).  There were a few shallow crossings but Smitkraal was the longest and that was still shallow and simple. Took about 2 hours including a 10 min stop. Beautiful place - I aim to be back...

    Antoniesberg Pass

    Thanks YoungGSer, really helpful to see that. Were the minor technical/rocky bits covered in your footage? I am thinking of riding this road but will potentially be alone and want to be sure i am up for it. Based on the video i'd feel fine on the road surface; the challenges, at least in my...
