Well, my wifeâ??s off with her girlfriends to watch the Coverboys take of their trousers, so Iâ??ll just do this short report.

After a bout of pneumonia and some pretty shitty weather, I decided to blow the cobwebs out of my bike and show you some of Queenstown at the same time. Round here you canâ??t throw a rock without hitting some gravel roads, so we must ride them all.

Hereâ??s the turnoff at Bailey station.

From my stoep to here is basically a spit and poep, so I adapted my tyre pressures for gravel at home. Check out these gravel roads.

We have mountains, too!

If you turn opposite ways at each junction, you can keep going till your tank is empty.

Nice long uphill for steeking the bike.

Why do so many hills look like breasts? If you believe in that Creator stuff, Heâ??s got a much wickeder sense of humour than you might think, either that or my mindâ??s evolved to see only some things.

In Queenstown, dual sport riding is not a hobby, but a way of life.ATGATT doesnâ??t work to well for chasing sheep in, though.

Last junction and then home. Bet you canâ??t do this in the big city.

Next time Iâ??ll show you two different routes to Hogsback, all gravel.
