Sepia Posted June 20, 2013 Share Would love to be part of Dikwiel Kommando. Is this a panniers and camping or lightweight bikepacking and BnB kindof trip?Panniers (if they don't fall off) and camping for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYGA Posted June 20, 2013 Share More Wood's panniers fell of three times within the first km of our trip in the Drakensberg last year. Some choice language was heard that day. The bikes get pretty heavy fully laden...for riding no problem, for hiking up die Leer perhaps not so fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johannrissik Posted June 20, 2013 Share Panniers (if they don't fall off) and camping for me. As you please. The ethic of the DWK dictates lightweight, mobility, low cost and fun. Closely allied to Fiforiders (as in fit in or forkoff). teddygerda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannrissik Posted June 20, 2013 Share you can only come if you bring your single speedUse of the singular speeded bicycling machine gets you instant rank in the DWK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johannrissik Posted June 20, 2013 Share what is race? what does it mean? I only know how to ride :-)Â I must state this very clearly upfront...The DWK is a totally non-race-ist organisation.

tubed Posted June 20, 2013 Share Guys if Johann is offering to help with some logistics you are halfway there - don't let that offer go lightly. He will look after you when you enter and leave his Principality. Take my word. As an example we did a relatively cheep cheep trip a couple of weeks back - Sorry Johann I would have asked permission if I was your side of the Gamka - but for this side we needed Fox's blessing. http://thunderboytjie.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/tour-de-towerkop-2013/ Just do it guys! johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriarty Posted June 21, 2013 Share The trip from Prince Albert sounds good but I personally am wanting to start in PMB. Will possible end off at Prince Albert and then go over the Swartberg to Oudtshoorn and catch a bus back to PTA. Anyone interested in this option?

cat-i Posted June 21, 2013 Share OK guys, stop messing about.....  Catch the train from Cape Town to Prince Albert Road. (If it's too late, you can be collected and taken the 45km to Prince Albert.) Then ride back to Cape Town via the Swartberg Pass, Gamkaskloof, Die Leer, Rouxpos, Anysberg, Montagu, etc......... Come on, you know you'll enjoy it. Just do it  when?next autumn?
