Rode in the foothills of the Drakensberg for the the first time, Dragon Peaks in the central berg.  Some magnificent backdrops but variable trails and somewhat over priced at R75.

I get the impression that it's only possible to ride trails in private estates in SA, is that correct? You can 't just go to a nice area and ride around to explore? Too dangerous?

Not today but Saturday

Rode up to the mast at Helderberg, stopped for coffee and to enjoy the view on a crisp winter morning.

Awesome, just how the Missus and I go hiking......with the coffee kit!

Security to some extent but also there is a lot of private land in SA without public access ways like Europe, be it for walking, riding or horse riding. SA has and little to no culture of public bike paths.  We also don't have anything like the density of public roads you are used to so a circular route can turn into a major ride.

Didn't get passed by a single Chery (car or girl), Geely, Tata or GWM going up there today so I guess my legs aren't too bad ????

Thanks for the explanantion.

I'm starting to realise that this is indeed a major advantage here in Europe and Belgium and the Netherlands especially. So many bike paths, tow paths, cycling 'highways', longer cycling routes (like the North Sea Cycle Route of which I'm cycle a tiny bit of 250km in 3 weeks time),... And as a woman, I don't have to worry about my safety cycling alone. 

But the scenery is not as impressive as SA, and the weather isn't always that great,

Took a cruise down to the Milnerton beach after the last storm to check out the surf.

I feel for these surfers having to deal with all this muck as well as the e coli coming from the Blackriver.

Had a lovely morning spin on the river loop route, in Brisbane.

Cool. Literally, seeing as the typical two days of winter are upon us!
