Saffer Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 wel we had the choice, do what others do...(go overseas) or do South Africa, like never before. we toured the northern cape. Was an awesome 3700km trip, with the bike onboard. rode places like Augrabies National Park, Springbok National Park, and klomp others. Here is a pic of the sea on the western coast when we got to Port Nolloth. Anyone else done anything similar?
Saffer Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 hahahahaha, waynedude... was meaning the road trip... long distances, lotsa riding(bikes that is I was on honeymoon, did lots of riding too.)
Saffer Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 so take someone else' missus along for the ride... hahaha, or maybe organise a guys week. we had all our gear in the back, tents, camping stuff etc,incase we needed it but stayed in BnB's and hotels most of the way.
HowellingWulf Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I'm getting married next year. Was hoping/thinking of doing something similar, I was thinking of the Midlands but the NC should be good as well. Any suggestions?
Saffer Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 Dude, i would deff recomend it, if you are able to entertain your selves... i the NC there is a hell of a lot on nothing... hours and hours of nothing. but the scenery is wicked and if you look hard enough there are a few really nice places. i can find all the places for you if you gimme some time, but i would not recoment you go too much further than Augrabies, Unless of courst you are planning for August/September for the Namaqua Flowers. then go as far as Springbok. There are some really awesome wine farms out there in Kakamas/ augrabies area that are well priced.
Spinnekop Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Legendary! Wish my lady would have considered something like that......my bike was BANNED from that trip! But I would not trade the honeymoon I had for anything else!!!
slowtwitch Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Jeewizz, where did you get time or energy to ride a bike while on honeymoon
capecyclist Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 looks like you had fun. the 'Just Married' sign is cool btw. the best part about "a whole lot of nothing" is that you can have LOTS of veld sessions if ya know what I mean
Saffer Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 and lots of veld sessions we had indeed... AS far as we can work it, we slipped one past the goal keeper in Springbok National park, surrounded by Springbok. So i hope to hell my kids does not support the damn sheep shaggers.
Jackes Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 http://www.upington.com/Riemvasmaak.htm Close to augrabies. Quite and enough of nothing for a honeymoon if NC nothing is your scene
Rocket-Boy Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I didnt do the cycling honeymoon but did the SA run thing. I cant tell you two things about it, SA is awesome when you really explore all the places and its cheaper to go overseas on honeymoon!
Matchstix Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 dude how do the front wheels stay on? sounds awesome
Saffer Posted August 27, 2009 Author Posted August 27, 2009 hey machstix, that was the prototype... the wheels were help in place with velcro. I have since redesigned the bike rack.
Gasping Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Nice one Saffer, I hope you and the Missus stay happy and cycling together. Looking at your posts, seems that you hade piece on earth?
