The reason why the north end is not easy to spot, is partially due to it being quite a small and hidden turnoff , but mostly it is on a very busy blind corner where your attention is inevitably focused on negotiating that corner and the turnoff goes un-noticed. It is not signposted. I usually...

Do not be tempted to go via Ashbury. We have had kids throw rocks at us as we pass by. Rather take the more scenic route as per this map.

No locked gates. Its a very lekker ride. We always take Joubertspoort on our way to Ouberg Pass (The Montagu one) and to/from Anysberg. Last ride was two weeks ago. The condition does not change much over time. Do it, its lekker.

Perhaps the lack of response is the sizing in cm. Most trousers are still sold in imperial measurements. 84-89cm equates to 33 to 35 inches waist circumference. I wear a 33/34 so am potentially interested. What is the instep length?

Or buy one with leads already soldered onto it, such as: https://www.communica.co.za/products/cr2032-9cm-lead?variant=39445490040905

Peter, it sounds like this is an event that changes people’s lives. I hope to ride with you again soon. Busy packing for Die Hel now. Itching to ride.

I have seen three chains break, always the day after the rider “adjusted” his chain tension the night before. I suspect some guys simply set the chain way too tight, not realising how much tighter the chain gets as the suspension compresses. Always look at the geometry of the swingarm pivot...

Take note that Koedoesberg Pass is no longer open. Locked gate on both sides.

I’ll bring a group up from Cape Town… just need to plan where to overnight on the way up, and down again.

I have had a 390 Adv for 2 years now, just over 45 000km, and most of that offroad. Been to Die Hel, through Baviaanskloof a few times, Old Postal Route a few times (when it was still open), up Hel Se Pas (Nieuwoudtville) many times, and all of the routes in the Cederberg, Tankwa, Hantam, etc...

Reach him at TheunsC on this forum or 0764546019 he is based in Worcester so I guess any branch there would do.

The 390 Adv is a very capable machine. Quite under-rated. The more technical the ride, the more it shines. I do have a few qualms with it though. It could do with more ground clearance, as my metal bashplate needs frequent panelbeating. Traction Control is either on, or off… where limited slip...

My tyres were probably overdue for replacement, which cost me 4 tumbles, but three of those were late afternoon when we were getting a bit tired, with blinding sun just above the horizon and the ground in silhouette and deep shadow. I could not see the road to pick a decent line in those...

Thanks once again for another really lekker bash, to Gerard, the caterers and the landowners. on the Saturday, six of us took the Side Entry route out, first to Baviaans Lodge for some refreshments, then to Kareedouw to top up tanks. Two decided to return to Dooringkloof via the R62 and...

Who is organising some live music for Saturday eve?

Go for it, we will not mind.

One more guy joining our group, Tom Stewart. I’ll make a payment today.

Was it your group that we met in Wupperthal? The young Dutch couple (Wouter and Miriam) who rode with our group, made a little video of the ride to Wupperthal and back, showing the condition of the road. They were brave, been riding only 3 months, but they thoroughly enjoyed it. Sunday they...
