.Time for a another ride? But of course!
This ride was a rather impromptu ride. My friend Bakkie came to visit from PE. During a braai the previous evening he mentioned that he's never been to
Ronnie's Sex Shop. It also so happened that a friend of ours was spending her weekend in Prins Albert. So the plan was set. Tomorrow we head for Prins Albert - The Long Way Round!


Prins Albert is North of George but we headed South. We had a 500km+ route planned today! We headed towards Riversdal and Garcia Pass. Totally the wrong direction we know

A quick stop to document this pass for my
quest:

And then we hit the first dirt! Man this is so much better than the monotony of tar!!!



We arrived to find lots of other bikes also there. Apparently there was a Rally in Oudtshoorn somewhere.

Proud moment:

I used the occasion to celebrate by bike's 20th birthday!


After lunch we headed out towards Seweweeks Poort. Our route was almost all dirt from there.

What a majestic dirt road this is.



There's a gravel road from Floriskraal dam to Prins Albert. Neither of us have been there before but luckily Bakkie's GPS had "Tannie Karin van Garmin" installed, so how could we go wrong?

The turnoff to my first unknown gravel part of the trip:

This was much better. After some high speed runs we were now relaxed, riding "rustig", looking around and taking in the scenery.



I was amazed at the beauty around us. I have ridden around the Southern Cape extensively and yet there are still such beautiful spots around every corner.
