I have never ridden the Free State much, normally one just passes through the well known areas like Golden Gate and Memel to get somewhere else. On my last work trip to Bfn I marked interesting service roads leading off the N1 and set about using Google Earth to plot a route to link them all and I must say I had a fantastic weekend of riding. Almost endless dirt with many more to explore at a later date. It's Covid 19 everywhere you turn with no telling how long we need to stay at home so I knew it was now or never. My route started in Kroonstad, getting there I had to ride from Pretoria via Parys adding a significant distance to the trip and bringing the total to 1070km for the weekend. Maar n Yamaha is nie bang nie, never touched a tool for the whole weekend not even a puncture for which I'm very thankful for. Some scenic roads and a bit of history, lets go.
