Day 2 highlights of our trip. Waking to snow in October was quite an experience. I must say that i have been to see snow but this is my first time standing out in the open with snow falling. It is quite a surreal experience and definitely a memory to last a lifetime. With a couple of big bikes in our group we decided for safety reasons to give Bastervoetpad Pass a miss, but managed to sneak the TTT-Tenahead to Tiffindel Traverse. This was recently removed from the Ben 10 Eco Challenge. It is a tricky & dangerous stretch of about 24km, which took us +- 2 hours.

Can one do this with something like a GS....or is it VERY difficult?
 
Ek sien so
Maar hoe moeilik is dit
How gnarly are the gnarly bits with a grand Piano
things like how much luggage, tyre choice and most of all is it dry or wet make all the differences on those passes - never mind riders ability. The most difficult, especially in the wet, is Bastervoetpas, also better to go down War Trail (Volunteers Hoek), than up it, especially with those packed tyres. The rest are all pretty easy.
