10-20 September 2016

All road riders and their partners are invited to join us on this fantastic 12 day Tour with three rest days at some of the best accommodation that you can wish to experience.

This is also a fantastic opportunity for the "Off Road" riders to take their partners and show them how much fun they can have on our Tours.

With the above in mind I have tried my best to keep daily distances manageable so they will end the day still talking to you.

Some think it folly, others madness, even dangerous and few are in agreement, to take long bike trips by oneself is the ultimate riding experience.

Is it not lonely, boring or intimidating are often the responses to hearing about such a trip?  Well it is actually wonderfully selfish.  You go, start and stop when or wherever you want.  Travel at a speed that suites yourself.  The Route can be changed on a whim and places explored without considering anybody else.

What do you get when you combine 23 people, 16 bikes, 14 days and 5500km on a trip through our beautiful country?

Gosh I cant even remember all the places we went too.  What an awesome trip.  Everything was so well organised and amazing.  OK there were a few mattresses and pillows that needed replacing but "what the heck" they were mostly so comfortable and at least every place we stayed at was clean and linen fresh.

Day 1 : to Graaff Reinet

We meet at 5:30 am at the Winelands 1-Stop for breakfast.  It is an appropriate end to a week of last-minute arrangements: new tyre (knobblies mandatory for this trip), on-the-road snacks, traveling cash, and packing for an extended trip to a region where temperatures can range between -5 and 30+.
