Looking at the state of that road and the narrow gauge of the rubber on your bike I'm not sure I'd even make it to there. On my MTB I'd be hugging the green bits to the left of the gravel had I been riding in that area. Julle manne daarbo het ballas van staal.

It’s a fairly popular road for road cyclists. There is a main road that runs parallel to it so traffic is very limited. It’s links a lot of different routes locally . I do avoid the road sometimes if I can and don’t do long stretches of it to often.

The wkd it’s a popular road for club rides . But then they have a vehicle behind them.

Must say we are pretty fortunate in the south to have lots of wide shoulders and pretty empty roads with lots of gravel routes that link to the tarmac . We just don’t have awesome views ????

Touch wood; drivers out south (of Jozi) are mostly courteous. There are a few that can be considered extreme exceptions, but never as bad a those closer to the urban areas.

Took me to the ground yesterday. Broken bike rack but very lucky no personal injuries. Back to CT for a better fix. Then who knows. 

I know it cost a few penny's but you do enough traveling .... would it be worth getting Mr Mercer to weld up a s/steel rack for you that can take abuse?

Glad you are okay bud.

The problem here was the crash. It broke the bolt holding the rack. Not the best system. I was loaded and just bad luck. Lynskey sell a titanium rack. Just need 5K to purchase it. But the problem will always be the fitting system. Not terribly bad just don't hit the ground fully loaded. I wish someone recorded it. It must have been hilarious ????????

I have a Thule rack (and panniers and other bits) you are welcome to - will WhatsApp you when I can find pics - was given to me so happy to pay it forward
