HI all, this morning I've decided to check out the looming flood of the Orange River. Took the camera so there are a few picks of my valley as well. Trip started at 9:30 and I was back home 2:30. This was my first trip on gravel with my new bike and enjoyed it very much!!! Went to Groblershoop, Boegoeberg Dam, Marydale, Draghoender, Putsonderwater, Koegrabie, Groblershoop and then back to my farm. All and all 245km of which 200km on gravel! :ricky:
