I have been threatening to go up there for a while now and yesterday was the day.

It was cold as usual with a stiff wind blowing and some snow around, but dressed in all my ATGATT,  I was very warm and cosy, even hot at times !

The road I took was from the Mountain Shadows side, I was lazy and did not feel like doing the whole loop alone.

So here are are the pics I took along the way.

Enjoy !  :thumleft:

nice photos :thumleft:
Be glad you don't have false teeth otherwise they would have given you a second a--hole with that bumpy road. >:D
 
While I was up there I had a look for and found the Bastervoetpad Geocache which has not been found in more than two years !  :mwink:

I also took a travel bug for a visit, thats the little red car in the pic.

Then I ended the ride at Mountain Shadows with a few Captains before taking a slow ride home . . .

Hope you enjoyed the report . . .

Nice ride and pictures. I will do it before the year end.......... :thumleft:
 
Correct, the blueish route on my map, thats the whole route.

The co-ords I gave are for the summit of the pass.

From my place, ride the loop back to my place in Elliot is +- 100km, takes a few hours :ricky:

Beers in tank bag recommended  :3some:  :biggrin:
