Drakensberg region . Dumbe cottages on Wheretostay is a great place for what you want to do .Remote ,romantic with wonderful scenery , hiking and mtbing on Solly,s folly and more .Great restaurant if you go down oliviershoek pass before Bergville
I am a doctor and worked and rode my bike within four days. After five days the skin wound should be sealed and you can leave it open .If you can stand a bit of pain you can function really soon ,but late it the day your shoulder will not be happy and sleeping is difficult .Do half what you normally do until things are comfortable again .I rode on quiet tar roads just to not loose fitness .MTBing is a bad idea
Agree .Even at 100kg ,i never go higher than 2Bar .Currently riding Ardent 2,4 at 1,6 front and 1,8 rear .Cyclelab,s chart says 2,1 and 2,2 .That is unnecessary hard
