@freak this is a great idea... How far have you developed the idea? Eg camping v bnb, route.

 

I'm definitely keen on the concept- just not sure if a could do 100km a day for 3 days ????

Hi Freak - do you think you could upload the route? (maybe a strava route?)  Wanna try join for part thereof.

I think bicycle touring is great. Last year 5 of us did a trip from Stellenbosch to Blombos. Slept at Onrus in a holiday house, in a bungalow at Black Oystercather near Elim, on a farm near Malgas and the last night in a holiday house at Blombos. 

 

One of my best trips ever, we averaged about 80-90 km (day 1 was about 110km) a day. Friends of mine did a four day trip in the Montagu, Barrydale area and also raved about it. I think one should not make the daily distances too long to entice the not so experienced or unfit cyclists to join.

Looks good, count me in.

 

Is it mainly tar?

[_freak_]

Mostly

But a good section gravel as well

 

Message me your cell so I can add you to our whatsapp group... everyone that wants to join

[eddy]

I know of a good place to base such S24O's  

And if you are interested, everyone is welcome to spend a night with us in Calitzdorp. It is only one hill away from JR in PA.

 

My next ride is probably Calitzdorp,huisrivier pass, Seweweekspoort, Rouxpos way, Ladismith, vanWyksdorp, rooiberg pass and back to Calitzdorp

I'd love to. Let me see if I can swing it.....

[Ryanpmb]

Have problems reading maps and even bigger issues with the GPS, Old school. New technology absolutely slays me. It does not help if I went to a bum school...............educational status lacking big time.

How was the trip?

Going South trough the Buffelsrivier from Rouxpos to Ladismith? (or around with district roads)
