We are wanting to ride from CPT to JHB this December and need to accomplish this in about 12 - 14 days. Does anyone have a route that we could follow which would keep us off the N1 as far as possible but would still get us there in the required time? We don't want to take too many detours but also don't want to cycle on the N1 if we can help it. Worried about going through the Karoo Anyone done this before and can suggest a safe route? Any advice and tips would be welcome. We're doing it on a tandem (roadbike not MTB route) Thanks Sconsscons2009-04-17 04:03:03
