Unsupported touring

[Trackz]

Anyone know of a nice route for a 3day tour? I was thinking of heading to Mpumalanga from PTA. Maybe to Ezemvelo Nature reserve close to Bronkies or something like that. Just to get started with touring

 

How do you guys plan your trips? How do you know what is gravel roads and what are not? Google maps just shows a yellow line and that doesn’t tell me much. I want to do as much off road as possible

 

My buddy & I have never done an unsupported tour, so I think a short 3day/2night trip can be lekker. I am thinking of staying in B&B/self catering cause I don’t have a lot of gear yet.

 

Anyone done a short similar tour? Even if I have to travel, leave the car and cycle from there (NW, MP, FS). I just want ot get n feel for everything before my wife and I explore the EC on bike next year

 

I have worked out a 3-4 day off-road mostly ride from Pretoria East to Sabie/White River I am planning to do in the near future, was planning to ride solo but it's always nice to have company.

 

If anyone's planning 3-4 day rides from Pretoria-East please let me know - must be mainly off-road, tar only to connect and then I ride next to the road. I'll be keen to join.
