    The non celebration of a birthday.

    Sunday morning, I’m up early. Normally before I set out on a ride I wake early irrespective. I’m restless and want to get going as soon as possible. Brew a coffee, which I have while packing. The previous nights storm was a good one, and it has been drizzling the whole night. I double check...

    The non celebration of a birthday.

    Saturday JonW made contact contacted me prior to the trip when I was checking out routes down to Hilton. He offered to take me on an outride to Notingham road brewery today. Initially he just sent me the route, but later said he could join, but had to be back home around 11. This was the plan...

    The non celebration of a birthday.

    After Brunch, I roll through the bustling metropolis that is Harrismith and hit the dirt again. A section of the road is being graded, which makes for a couple of oh-no seconds. The surrounding vistas keep me mesmerised. The road is quite entertaining. The route I plotted may or may not be...

    The non celebration of a birthday.

    Ok, I needed something to get my mind off all the **** that went south on site today, so here’s a little more: ….It feels like the dirt road ended too soon after my coffee stop. The road I’m on is tarred and it really is straight and disappears into the distance over the small hills. The GPS is...

    Apologies for the delay in getting this done, It's silly season at work, and long hours will be a standard for the next couple of days.

    The non celebration of a birthday.

    “A good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving” – Lao Tzu This was pretty much the plan for my trip to Hilton, in KZN. Why Hilton specifically? Because I have a friend who stays there, and he had a bed available for me in his loft. I have ridden on two wheels in the area...

    Tjops in the Karoo

    Thanks for sharing the info @MildlyWild It’s a place where I would love to spend some time to explore. Our evening was overcast, but I stepped out and caught a glimpse of the sky. The amount of stars visible was just astonishing. Those 5 minutes of staring up, is another memory that I will have...

    Tjops in the Karoo

    Thanks MellowJo and Esibein. Day 3: I wake up with a headache, not sure if it’s the refreshments or the bump on the head. The group has some coffee and left over braai broodjies and braaivleis. I should have posted this in the previous day's report, but here's a photo going up to out...

    Tjops in the Karoo

    Day 2 (Both of the trip, and me writing this report. ) My day this morning started with an involuntary cold shower like my day in Montagu. Apparently it’s good for you. I’m not 100% convinced. Back to the trip: Breakfast was left-over supper with a fried egg and sweet coffee. Conditions are...
