Cycling with the daisies in Darling?

[DPG]

Going up to see the flowers in Darling over the weekend, just wondering if there are any nice easy rides through fields of daisies?

I'm taking the bike to postberg.

 

I can suggest a few loose routes, from darling itself go north to morreesburg.

another good idea is to get dropped off on the way up (if taking R27) at the silwerstroomstrand (or gortto bay) turn off.

You then cycle towards Grootte post on the darling hills road, and eventually join the R307.

You will see lot's of Daisies here..this is where the original rocking the daisies was held(excopt they were gone by the time the festival took place).

 

watch out for the miggies.

watch out for thorns.

 

edit: how do i embed a google maps streetview pic?

Postberg in the West Coast National Park. Actually, all the way around the Langebaan Lagoon is great for riding as well as for flowers. Good for both road and mtb.
