I have contact lenses and I had serious issues in the dust and the rain. I purchased a pair of Wiley X Xl from takealot which has a "facial cavity seal". It does fog up on the hills and it looks like you are wearing goggles, but it has changed my riding experience! Glorious.
Fair question. There have never been any in the past and there were none on the route we took BUT the motorbikers said there were signs put up elsewhere in the area. It is just open land, so you would need lots of signs to cover all the access points.
Beware riding behind Lanseria on the former "beat the brewer" ride. We rode over a spike buried in the trail. 3 out of 4 tyres punctured. Apparently it is the farmer putting spikes out for the motorbikes. Some motorbikes got spiked as well before we could dig it up.
A pity, it has been my favourite route for years.
