So just to tease a little bit more, we did have Roy on our trip with us taking quite a bit of photo's. That was part of the reason why we got the trip sponsored by Levi's - in exchange for the budget to do the trip, Roy and us would post pictures of the adventure as we went along.
You can follow Roy on Instagram for more pics (not necessarily all of bikes).
Some of these pics were also taken by our cameraman, Dave Fisher. Dave also has a pretty epic adventure film company called Fish Munga - he's been fortunate enough to travel to some pretty cool places.
But in the meantime... Here are some images from the time at Rhodes, Carlisleshoek and Wartrail. Some of these are screengrabs off GoPro's, so not the best quality, but I think it still manages to convey the adventure.
The road gets twisty just as you exit Rhodes and turn left to go through the meadows.
Then you hit the fun...
Small jumps into streams...
Until you get to the start of Carlisleshoek
The pass is really steep - our Polo back-up vehicle ran out of power and couldn't make it up.
The pass itself makes a few twisty bends up, and then starts a long drag going up. It's a breathtaking view from here.
That meant we had to leave the car and film team behind. It was just Koos and I heading up into the top.
We found some streams and features along the way that made for perfect mini jumps, one at the bottom of the pass, another right at the top.
On top of Ben McDuie, with Tiffendell in the valley below. Ben Mdcuie is the highest point in the Eastern Cape.
Koos almost coming short with a beautiful backdrop of the waterfall
Overlooking the escarpment.
We stopped on an escarpment on the way back the Wartrail pass down, as you head to Lundeans. Epic views from here
We managed to find our way home just before sunset and was treated to beautiful sunlight - just right for some hero shots.
More pics to follow of our 3rd day... Next video is releasing on Wednesday.
