I went on an exploring ride to Lesotho today.
There is a valley about 7km north of Ramabanta that I wanted to explore for a long time. I have been thru this valley a few times on the Africa Twin and has seen many single track paths that needed to be explored. So today I took the 500 and boy o boy, did I discover the most amazing places.
I will let the pictures tell the story.

Yes it was a solo ride, easier to explore that way :biggrin:
 
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Some of those look quite gnarly, but nothing that that bike can't handle, I'm sure. You have me envious ;)
:thumleft:
 
Baie netjies en daai fiets pas goed in in sy natuurlike habitat!  :deal: :biggrin:
 
We came through that area with Roof 2012 I think? Ramabanta was a refuel and thereafter Baboons and finish at Semokong

Hey Losper ... when did you do this ... did you keep the 300 ?

Is that area in the Jockstrap Pass direction or which way?
 
Bliksem but I will sommer move to Lesotho....proper riding in an absolutely stunning terrain!

Hi Sithe, I did this ride last weekend. Yes I still have my 300 but everybody in our riding group has bought 500's. The 500's are opening up a whole new world of riding possibilities that is not possible on the big bikes and the 300's. We are doing these stunning rides on a regular basis and we are thoroughly enjoying ourselfs.
This valley is about 7km north of Ramabanta and about 1km south of Matsieng. I can email you the gpx track if you want.
