Hi
I've planned a four day easy Karoo cruise in December with some friends and my son and would like some advice from the ECape dogs. I had an operation in Aug to repair an Achilles tendon and this will be my first trip after that episode. I need to take it easy, but do want to see some scenery!
The whole trip
Day 1 - JBay to Prince Albert
Langkloof via tar and then a gravel loop via Uniondale.
Has anybody ridden the gravel loop after Haarlem?
Day 2 - Prince Albert to Sutherland
Via Murraysburg. Ride down Oubergpass and back up.
Prince Albert to Merweville, Rammelkoppas to Sutherland, ride Ou Berg pas down to Tanwakaroo, back to Sutherland
Day 3 - Sutherland to Ruitersbos
Sutherland to Laingsburg via Komsbergpas then south to Herbertdale with R327, then east with Haelkraalpad to the Ruiterbos area.
Day 4 - Back to Jeffreys
Any unmissable bits we must see? (Have ridden Baviaans, Die Hel, Prince Albert pas, Montagu pass, Prince Alfred pas). Roads to avoid?
Thanks!
