Ride to Dullstroom. Going beyond 300.

[Trackz]

We felt like Harries Pancakes ... so we left after work on Fri, 8 Aug for Dullstroom and arrived in Dullstroom on Sat 3pm. 22 hours later, 310km. Ride report on Making Trackz link below.

Might be the embryo start of a new event.........this is what stories and legends are made of.

 

Impressive and respect.

 

So how was the pancake......and how many did you consume?

[GaryvdM]

That's awesome!

 

When the train was coming up to you, were you on the tracks, or alongside them?

 

If long distance trekking is your thing, you may be interested in an Audax or two. http://audaxsa.co.za/

(They are road routes however, not mtb.)

Only 2 pancakes, ate lots for 22 hours, thought I'd be more hungry.

Train hooted for me to move out the way, being a cyclist I had attitude, so he hooted again, I capitulated

Isn't there a nice pancake shoppe just down the road in Sabie

sounds brilliant i would love to do something like that, but my riding partners(mates) are too soft and they would require support staff/wives/creams/ 5 * hotels along the route with spas
