It was a long one that we didn’t expect to be able to complete … all the way home to Plettenberg Bay. Due to the unrest that had plagued the Garden Route of late we had decided previously to drive the Nekkies at Knysna and take the detour around the airport to Plett. That just […]
It was the Robinson Pass that lay ahead and we were up and about in a dreary, misty Mossel Bay at sparrows. There was no time to dry the tent and gazebo so we packed the damp, sea-sticky canvas and pulled on the cycle shorts yet again. It would require ‘headlight on’ driving through the […]
Neither ‘tannie’ nor Lynsey wanted to leave Jongensfontein. It was a beautiful morning and everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. The tent and gazebo were wet with dew so we had to wait until they dried off some before packing up in earnest. We were to drive up to where the Blombos road […]
Sunrise over the aloe strewn campsite and the tent was wet with dew. We had to try and move the thing into the sun to dry before packing up to leave. We had to drive the N2 a way before turning off on yet another gravel road in order to link up with the one […]
We woke with a start as the sound of raindrops on canvas got louder and louder. It started to rain in the middle of the night and we didn’t even have our tent’s little skullcap on. At least we could zip the mesh vent at the top closed from the inside but with the wind […]
It was the ride to the southern tip of Africa, Agulhas and we set off early from the amazing Strandskloof Park outside Gansbaai. The wind was non-existent and the road quiet. It was one of the best cycling days we’d had thus far. We headed through farmlands as the sun came up over the mountains […]
The big push to Gansbaai began with an epic ride round Clarence Drive by Suzann. She literally cycled for her life. Even though it was not yet eight in the morning, it seemed as though everyone was out on the scenic route but not at a scenic speed. At least the motorcyclists were nice. One […]
It was time to pack up at Melkbos and move to Stellenbosch. We’d just about done the entire distance there the day before and decided not to be too nit-picky about completing every km, so we dressed in clothes (not cycle gear) and drove to the Mountain Breeze Caravan Park just outside Stellenbosch … very […]
A bright and shiny morning greeted us and we ‘cheers’ it with a cup of coffee. It was the first morning that we actually took the time for a coffee before we headed out to cycle. But the weather looked so promising that we never even thought the wind would come up again. After all, […]
