BarryHeyns Posted December 8, 2015 Share De Bruyn is his name, Joubert his surname. We are friends from school, he is one crazy dude, the stuff he has seen is amazing, he estimates his trip will be 85,000km in total. I am sure he will be able to give advice to any long distance biker in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Also, I bought a small Revelate frame bag from cycle touring at lunchtime today. I got an email from the courier company before 3 to tell me that they have collected it. Excellent service. I bought a frame bag and some bits and pieces bag from cycletouring.co.za yesterday at lunchtime. It was delivered by courier at 10:30 this morning. 21 hrs to my desk, cant ask for much more than that !!

He has a website as well http://www.around7continents.com/ Capture.JPGWe've had to get back into normal 3 times after trips of 2 years, 12 and 3 months. It is really hard, especially having 'normal' conversations with people. It changes you and most people don't get it because they haven't had the chance to experience it. To keep us going, we move to different countries and keep life excited. At the moment living in Amsterdam... _freak_ and CJG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted December 15, 2015 Share I am thinking that a 3 day self supported ride from Willowmore to Calitzdorp via Klaarstroom, Meiringspoort, De Rust, over the Swartberg pass to Prince Albert and then back over the hill from the other direction to Calitzdorp in December. Taking the dirt road to the north of the mountains between Willowmore and Klaarstroom, and the mountain road from De Rust past the caves. I am considering overnighting in Klaarstroom and PA. This will be my first "expedition" and will ride alone. It is finally here. I start in Willowmore at 4:30 on Thursday morning, and will basically do the trip as described above. I will however stay in de Rust as I'd prefer to go through Meiringspoort in the daytime. Next day up and over the Swartberg, sleeping in PA and back over the pass to Calitzdorp via Kruisrivier and Groenfontein. Day four will be an out and back to van Wyksdorp over Rooiberg in both directions. Bags are packed, weather looks good and after a long chat with Grant Usher about his Munga this morning, I am toooo much excited.
