My son and I left for Oudtshoorn on Thursday morning, the route was selected from Mapsource, we had no idea that we were in for!
From Worcester we took the Eilandia road to start off the dirt roads for the day.
We had a late breakfast in Barrydale, 10 km out of Barrydale it was dirt road all the way to Oudtshoorn.
First picture taken just after we hit the dirt, GOPRO mounted on my son's helmet, I was clicking away, when we arrived in Oudtshoorn he took 900 photos.
This is what they refer to as dirt highway
It was raining heavily just before the tunnel, but on the other side it was already better and now it is just a beautiful day to be in the saddle.
It is always nice to see were the road is taking you!
We arrived at the road between Ladismith and Riversdale, turned right onto the tar and after 3 km turned left again onto dirt to make our way to Van Wyksdorp.
What was the best dirt road you can get gradually changed and had I known what was still in store, maybe I would have replanned the route there and then ...
This was the beginning of the (what shall we call it?) ... adventure / ordeal
