We watched first half of the rugby at the Swartberg Hotel Gin Bar and dinner after that at The Rude Chef. In the meantime [member=10935]BuRP[/member] also arrived in town, but he was spending the evening with an old friend.

On Sunday morning, we packed our stuff. and rode over to the Lazy Lizard for 'n lekker breakfast and a few coffees.

[member=7804]Amsterdam[/member] sent me a lekker route to get to Cederberg Oasis. The gravel started as we turned off on the Floriskraal Dam road.

Beautiful winding road with a few gates to open and close

The ride through Anysberg was enjoyable. Unfortunately we couldn’t stick to the 30km/h speed limit  eepwall:

We had lunch at Touwsrivier, fuelled the bikes and met a WD who is apparently well known on here. Can’t remember his name, but I got this pic when he wasn’t looking.

From Touwsrivier on to the R46. Wind was really pumping and we had to stop and put on some warmer jackets

I hadn't seen my brother [member=9149]Dwerg[/member] since December and since he moved to Hermanus earlier this year, I would probably not see him again until this December. He was on a road trip with his wife and we knew we might run into each other along the way. I was very happy to see him and we had a quick beer together next to the road in the middle of nowhere.
