Being a pharmacist I have been working like crazy since two weeks before lockdown when the public starting going crazy for sanitizers, face masks ,immune boosters and whatever they felt necessary to protect themselves from the virus. This week I decided I deserved a break from the madness and so this morning I departed on a midweek 600km round trip. It is quite chilly early mornings so I only left home in Kempton park at about 7:30am.

Stuck to main tar roads to Bapsfontein and then unto Bronkhorstspruit. From Bronkhorstspruit town traveled about another 23km before turning right towards Zusterstroom. This is where the first gravel started and is also one of my favorite gravel roads near Gauteng.
From here I carried on to Loskopdam and then unto Dullstroom

Stopped next to road for a quick cup of coffee and rusks and to warm up the body.

My next stop was in Dullstroom and luckily Seattle coffee was open so I could refill myself with my 2nd cup of coffee. Returrned home on mainly the same gravel roads except I went via Tondeldoos which I have never visited before.
So now I can return to work again feeling refreshed and adventurous.

Nice bike and those exhausts look awesome.  :thumleft:
 
What was the road like from Zusterstroom to Dullstroom. Going that same road this weekend down to Marloth Park?

From Zusterstroom gravel road is perfect and looks like it was graded recently. Gravel road to Verena at Loskopdam very rocky. Tar road from Loskopdam to Stofberg had terrible potholes so be very careful, and then gravel road from Stofberg to Dullstroom also rocky so be careful of cutting your tires.

It's nice to go and clear your head from all nonsense, glad you enjoyed the outing, Do you perhaps have a gps track from the route you followed.
