straatvark Posted January 3, 2009 Share So the missus and me decided since we didnt used our panniers in a while - lets visit the sister & family in Worcester and deliver presents to the 3 nephews at the same time etc. Now altough we used the top of the 2 passes before on training rides, we never venture "over to the other side" - And what a nice trip it was! We left early 1/1/2009 and followed Du Toit's kloof pass: And then back over Bainskloof on the 2nd: I will be for ever gratefull for the lift to the Bainskloof Calabash & breakfast to be able to start from there. Me made home in the Westerly wind - only just... What i noticed:a) There are a LOT of older (grandpa's etc) romantic people that start the year with a champagne breakfast at high lookout points instead of a hangover. b) Motorists are so much friendlier when you are touring with friendly honks, waving or lowering the windows for a chat overall - we should do trips like this more often...

Willehond Posted January 3, 2009 Share Nice to see the panniers back on the mtb's! Doing another Spanish trip soon? Very nice! Stuur groete en beste nuwejaarswense vir mev Straatvark!!!! Geniet die mooi Kaap. I did a ride too, but very different. Did two plus hours yesterday. 1 degree average temperature, frozen mtb tracks (fast!) and icy air. People skating on the frozen ponds everywhere! Very different. Willehond2009-01-03 16:43:27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
