Harrismith Road Route

Recommended Posts

You can probably head out towards Bethlehem, Clarens, Phuthaditjhaba back to Harrismith. Not sure of the distance for that loop but it will take you through Golden Gate. We've done portions of it with the SBIS tour. Will see if I can find the rides and calculate some distance

There was a lot of roadworks. But last time i rode from Bethlehem to Harrismith it was done, and actually quite nice.

One patch 17km out of Harrismith near Sterkfonteindam on the way to QwaQwa where there is still some speed bumps, but noting too serious

QwaQwa Kestell too dangerous . Rather go to Verkykerskop . Tar all the way there and a very quiet road . Used by local farmers . 100km Out and back.

There a shoulder on that road?

Yes, but not all the way . Quiet enough

Just the first few km near N3 has a shoulder. Rest is narrow. But road is very quiet. Only farmers use that road. Sunday should be even quieter.

Verkykerskop has a nice little coffee shoppe too.

Don't think the people will look at you lycra shorts funny nowadays.
