The Swartberg ride
I felt like taking a long ride this weekend. I asked GreenMamba1974 if want to ride with and the ride was on. Friday after work we would ride 360km to Oudtshoorn. Sleep ever. Then Saturday morning we would ride Swartberg pass and explore surrounding areas. Sunday we would ride back to PE. It was really a great ride.
Here goesâ?¦..
We met up at the Sasol in Walker drive. Mamba parking on disabled parking and me shouting at him.
One of many many fill ups.
Kareedouw. Stopped for a Red Bull.
Petrol stop in Joubertina.
A rest stop to get the blood back in the backside.
Poser.
Nice sunset shot on our way to Oudtshoorn.
ATM stop in Oudtshoorn.
Saturday morning near Schoemans hoek on our way to the pass.
Schoemans hoek church.
Schoemans hoek.
Turn of death. Many bikers lost their bikes or lives here. RIP
The famous sign.
Mamba found another sign.
Big bird.
The Swartberg Pass.
My trusty GPS knows where we are.
Mamba on the pass. Check out the green.
The pass is not for sissies.
We found many tourists on the pass. Unfortunately no Russian chicks.
At the top.
Someone must have been bored.
Signs with bulletholes. Karroo style. The way I like it.
Lots of stickers everywhere of adventure biking companies offering trips.
Going towards Price Albert.
Die Hel entrance. Not today.
Teeberg??
Some more views of the mountain.
The famous descent.
We stopped by the river at the bottom to wet our gear. It was just to hot to handle.
Kudu? Where?
The Church in Price Albert.
Price Albert main street.
Meirings Poort. It was extremely windy through the poort.
Having a beer in De Rust.
Bobotie. It was nice.
We rode Oudemuragie on our way back. Two beers in De Rust had me in hooligan mode and the poor Funduro just had to cope.
Raubenheimer Dam Oudtshoornâ??s water supply. It is nice and full.
Back in Oudtshoorn we visited one of my friends. Mamba just had to ride the Vuka.
Sunday morning we rode to PE via Uniondale.
Karroo klippe I love it.
Some flours.
Filling up in Uniondale.
Uniondale main street.
We had lunch at the Ark in Joubertina. I can recommend this place to anyone. Really great place to be.
The arkâ??s vark and dog.
Piglet had enough.
Colyn?
Captain Slow who?
Tramazzini
Chips
The Churchill dam.
Close to the end of a great weekend.
Pretty boy.
We ended the ride at the Van Stadens bridge.
Thanks for joining me Mamba.
