Yesterday Wayne h and I got together to find some new roads to ride.
We were looking at all the cool roads on Perdeberg (on google maps)
Wayne printed an aerial pic of the montain about 1m x 1m.
Keithk , Wayne h and myself met at Richwood garage at 09h00.
Just passed La Farge quarry on Adderly road.
We headed to Occudale road .
On approaching that sharp RH corner I noticed some Mountain bikers , so I slowed down , 2 cyclists went to the LH side and 1 to the right , wayne passed and as Keith K approaged , he turned in front of Kethk and Keithk managed somehow to miss him.
Anyway , down Slent Road and straight on to the Tar to Perderberg.We followed the pic that Wayne had brought with us to near the soot of the mountain.
We stopped for another look at the map , when a Farmer in his bakkie approached us , Keith K casually asked hit , which way up the mountain and if it was ok if we ride up.
We got the nod and some dirrections and off we went.
The road is very overgrown and mega slippery.There is moss growing on the hard , smooth sections.
There are plenty of loose rocks lying all over the road.At first it was a gentle climb with a rocky surface , then hard sand , bush and loose rocks.
Then as it got steeper , the slippery moss started.We road up the middle manetjie where we could or on the side of the track.There were very sharp corners that double back on then selves.We swopped the lead and I was in front.
We got to one of those corners , there was moss every where , I kept the bike steady and as I turned to take the sharp RH turn the back wheel slipped to the side and , well , once more , I was on the ground.
Here are some more pics of the road
As we could go no further up the road with the bikes , we decided to walk some way up the road.Its stunning up there and the Proteas are " Voll Op"
And some other pretty little tiny flowers
Moss on the ground
The Falling spot
Of course the pic never shows how steep the incline is.
Pics of the track
Keith K taking a pic of Wayne further up the trail.
