Looks like a very, very pleasant ride - that 1000 Hills gravel is like ball bearings - my 640 still has the scars. Apologies if you tried to contact me and thanks. I was coming back from the Berg & Bush Descent 3 day MTB ride. Very interesting riding round Winterton and Spionkop plus a run down Retief and Bezuidenhout's Pass's from the top of the 'berg. But tiring.
