Andrew_Smith Posted February 3, 2020 Share Van der Stel pass - Bot river to Theewaters AND WE HAVE A WINNER! It was super nice to finally meet the fellow Bike Hubber Mamil. I struggled a bit on those roads because I was on an old school cross bike with cantilever brakes and 3.5bar tyres (running tubes). But hey, it was great fun! The downhill was a bit scary and I got a pinch flat on one section.

Andrew_Smith Posted February 3, 2020 Share Were you the big group of riders going towards Bot River? 100% correct - we were Team MTB Goats in the blue. I am a full roadie, so I took along my cyclocross bike and did a bike change before the gravel sections. You can see our routes here: Day One Day Two Was a super nice adventure and I want to upgrade the cyclocross bike to make it more enjoyable for the next trip.

thebob Posted February 4, 2020 Share What's Buffelsdrift like? I'm keen to give it a spin but its a bit of a drive so don't want to waste it.

Andrew_Smith Posted February 5, 2020 Share Did you get that puncture sorted while Dale was off in the distance taking photos? Yes, I did indeed. Don't know how Dale did not get a puncture - I was unlucky with a thorn.
