"So what we doing for December holidays" Was the question from the Misses
So There i went looking at routes booking accommodation and chatting to people about routes and more routes and road conditions
The Route was Clarens Afriski Ha Lejone Underberg Winterton and back to Clarens
Bikes Would be the trusty Honda tornado 250 and My 2011 KTM 690 enduro R .Same as what we used earlier in the year
SO 26 Dec was D day bikes loaded and with a slight head cold we headed to Clarens
The weather had been planning up in the lead up to our trip . I had been speaking to a contact at Afriski about weather and road conditions and there was some uncertainty if the route was ridable due to rain
So Day of 27 Dec had arrived and we set off in a bit of a misty day Off to Forriesberg and then CaladonsPoort and then off to Afriski
Yes We could have gone via Motsnana Pass I was looking for an easy ride for the Misses as it was here first time on a bike in Lesotho
So off we went stopping for Pics Here and there that MoTeng Pass is amazing when there is no Snow or Ice on it . But the Altitude was starting to take a toll on the honda Its Not happy at that height but it made it to Afriski .
Pics , a walk around and sorting out a sim card was what we did for the rest of the day And That Head cold started to cause isues ....
A Chat with our contact at afriski assured us that the route we had chosen was Ridable The mention of 3 river crossings Got the Misses attention
