Dirt Junkie
Race Dog
Introduction:
I've been wanting to ride the Rhodes area for some time, I guess that’s where the idea of this trip was born and so it grew into a 7 day 2550KM+ trip with loads of passes, inspired by some of the RR's on WD, thanks for your help with the Lesotho planning Throttle Jockey, We were two riders myself Dirt Junkie the navigator for this trip and SoulAdventure both of us riding our trusty BMW F800GS, unfortunately all the other invited riders had to work, So without boring you all with the logistics of getting to the point of departure let me tell you about the route in short. Day1 PE to Elliot via Katberg Pass and Devil's Bellow Nek Pass, Barkley Pass. Day2 Elliot to Rhodes via Baster Voetslaan Pass, Lundeans Nek Pass, Bidstone Pass and Carlislehoekspruit Pass. Day3 Rhodes to Underberg via Naude's Nek Pass, Elandshoogte Pass, Pitseng Pass. Day4 Underberg to Katse Dam via Sani Pass, Kotisephola Pass (Black Mountains), Old Chiefs road. Day5 Katse Dam to Clarens via Nkaobee pass, Laitsoka pass, Mafika Lisiu Pass. Day6 Clarens to Lady Grey via Kommandonek Pass. Day7 Lady Grey to PE via Penhoek Pass, Nico Malan Pass, Ecca Pass.
