NotSoBigBen Posted September 8, 2014 Share Spent the weekend at Malonjeni game farm just down the road from Suikerbosrand nature reserve. Inside the farm, bit of a climb to get up there but worth it "Platkoppie" outside the farm and certainly not "plat" Edited September 8, 2014 by NotSoBigBen BenReaper and Stretched@Birth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted September 8, 2014 Share A windy Meerendal ride today... That table cloth on the Mountain is the dead giveaway. Summer (and the southeaster ) is around the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted September 9, 2014 Share I did the Ladysmith Cycle Challenge on Sunday (100km road race). Never cycled in that part of the world before and was very glad I made the trip. You race along sublime blemish-free blacktop until you get to the base of the Drakensberg… and then go straight up via De Beers Pass (the next one along from Van Reenens). Just 10 cars an hour on a peach of a road that runs through some seriously beautiful countryside. We went up by car the day before to take photos and the only other time I’ve heard such absolute silence has been in the Karoo. This road really is the ultimate road riding experience.

tombeej Posted September 9, 2014 Share Looking back down the pass. Not a car in sight. Beautifully built high-speed switchbacks all to yourself. What more could you ask for on a road bike?

JanJan Posted September 10, 2014 Share "Platkoppie" outside the farm and certainly not "plat" Where is this 'platkoppie'? I have never heard of such an hill and I don't recognize it from the photo. I am hoping to include that climb in my rides around Vereeniging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
