Bought new pedals over the weekend and tasked myself with taking the old ones off and putting the new ones on. Handy trick, if things get slippery, or you don't have enough purchase on your allen / hex key to turn, you can use the Thule tow bar rack spanner that tightens the rack onto the tow bar, to loosen or tighten the pedal. Saved me some time and blisters.
500km into my cycling habit, finally pulled the trigger on some clipless pedals and shoes. First time using them, had to hang onto a slowing down taxi so I could disconnect
None that I could see. It's R50 to enter as either a hiker or mtb. It's quite popular with hikers. Almost didn't have anywhere to park! I think the scariest part other than the descent on the 'snake' route, was coming face to face with a cow on a blind bend.
I've been slowly ramping up my distance, and I found this quite challenging. I'm most definitely still a beginner. It was quite warm already - we got there a bit later than planned. The descents were quite technical and full of loose rocks / gavel and quite a few spots had rocks that stuck out that were quite sharp and required some good maneuvering. I came off once at a low speed. The front washed out as I wanted to turn and power up a hill. You can get up to 32km I think if you do another little section which seemed super technical, so I avoided that one. I enjoyed it. Would do it earlier in the morning before the sun gets crazy, and perhaps I could do a better time.
Not sure if this is allowed, but the CamelBak 2.5l hydration Pack is on One Day Only today for about R300 - R400 cheaper than most places I've seen it at online and in store. Just got one, thought someone else might be looking for one at this price.

Sorry for the late reply gents. Yeah! Umhloti. Love it there. This was taken right in front of the Sand Bar & the pizza place. A couple of loops up and down the beach front and we managed about 15km a day.
