Flippin lekker Losper. Great pics and video footage. Be warned, this man is hardcore! If you are a beginner rider on any bike, let alone these big beasts, you are going to have a very long and bleak day in the saddle!!!!  Pasop!!!
Losper kindly sent me 2 routes which 6 of us did this past Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of in your face stuff and incredible scenery and beauty. This must top any serious adventure bikers bucket list. .Although very dry and dusty, some of the routes need to be done when the rivers are low.
How you found these routes is a miracle on its own. Very well done and I owe you a lot of beers for all the trouble you went to for us.
Get hold of this man,you won't be disappointed.

I think we came across that same group of warriors on the Sunday ride. Also trying to get past 2 horses chained together in a narrow area was "interesting".
And numerous brushes with stupid sheep and Kamikazi dogs are all part of not being disappointed in Lesotho. You really do have to go there.

Glad I managed to get to see you at the bash Losper and I hope one day we will get to ride together. It's always nice to meet someone who actually wants to ride their bike! I was hoping to make contact with Big Dom too but in the end I couldn't work out who he was.

I can see that riding in Lesotho and the roof is big business now. On my drive back to Durban on Sunday I saw probably 20 bakkies loaded up with KTM's from JHB and Durban going home on the road to Roma and probably 30 or more still riding at Ramabanta. I didn't know there was a ring road around Maseru now, it's years since I went in at that bridge! I think that the tar road between Ramabanta and the Senqu must be one of the most spectacular tar roads in the world. 

One thing I can't understand is why people from Natal coming to do roof training at Roma or Ramabanta  go home through  Maseru/Clarens. The trip on a road bike from Ladybrand to Matatiele through Semonkong took a tad more than 4 hours so it has to be quicker from Roma or Ramabanta  returning to Durbs that way.

I think there was quite a big event on at Afriski which could explain all the traffic.

Agree on the spectacular new roads in Lesotho and I also find it strange that people don't shoot back through Lesotho when heading towards Durban

There was a double header National Enduro on in Lesotho - tha's why so many plastics being trailered.

Lospers words to me was that he and twister is running out of vriends, after each lesotho trip theres a few less thats up to the challange.
Im lucky to be able to join on his trips.
Hes a true Lesotho legend when it comes to lesotho hardcore tracks and routes.
