Tulbagh loop via Sutherland and Ouberg

[Louis Photo]

Here's some pics from my trip to Sutherland and back today, I wanted to do it yesterday but I felt a bit crappy(gastro), so I did it today which was not the best day for biking in the Karoo - I think it was about 40deg at the bottom of the pass. The total distance is 520km.

The picture of the antelope look shaky I know, but it was done while doing about 40-50 kmh with the little animal running next to me - after opening my tank bag with gloved left hand, removing camera and fiddling with on/off button, switching camera to right hand(pulled the clutch in with left hand not to loose speed) and fired of a few shots. The shot is a bit un-dramatic, but it was a great few seconds that would have captured brilliantly with a helmet cam.

Lekker route ou mater.  Sondag was nogal ietwat warm vir die trippie, maar lekker bly maar lekker. Die fotot van daar by die laagwater brug, is dit die een onder Ouberg net so voor jy wegdraai Tankwa se rigting. Was lanklaas in daai omgewing en kan amper nie glo dat dit so verspoel is nie.

Is jy van Tulbagh of het jy net van daar begin.

Ek bly in Tulbagh ja, hiers nog n foto van daai bruggie. Ek dink dit was die laaste keer wat ek gestop het voor die padstal...dit het net te warm geword as mens stop.

Jis, my bike se vorige eienaar het die sitplek laer gemaak, gevolglik sit ek letterlik op omtrent 1,5 duim foam. Wat ek wel agtergekom het, is dat my gat begin seer raak omtrent 20km voor n groot stop - Sutherland, die padstal en Tulbagh, op gister se trip. Ek dink dis dalk bietjie sielkundig ook, die seer boude.
