Three of us decided to combine the rugby semi-final of the past weekend with a nice trip; should Province not make it against Morne or against themselves, we would at least have had a good time. So Raymond, Jaques and me left Durbanville Saturday morning to watch the game in Sutherland.
Durbanville – Bainskloof – Ceres – Op-die-berg. Then the real trip started:

Between Op-die-berg and R355.

I klapped a brick on the N1 a while ago, which pinched the side wall of the front tube. Murphy’s law – nothing happened until we reached the middle of the Tankwa Karoo. That tire is a bitch to put back on!

Sunday morning bitumen got the winning vote over dirt, so we had breakfast in Touwsrivier and got home before noon.
