2 Guys, 4 Kloofs, 7 days, 28 passes and 1650km

.
In the next couple of days I will embark on a tour covering almost everything the Southern Cape and surrounds have to offer. The idea was born out of a request I received from a gentleman in Gauteng who wanted to see the area, but did not know where to go, how to get there and where to stay. So we will be riding together and hopefully I can ad value to his trip with local knowledge, information, contacts and routes.

Over 7 days we will see almost everything between the Great Karoo in the North and the Indian Ocean in the South, Patensie in the East and Barrydale in the West. We will visit Gamkaskloof, Baviaanskloof & Attakwaskloof.

We will "criss-cross" over 23 passes. We will sleep in historic houses, tents, caves and under the clear Karoo skies. We will ride over stones, sand, mud, good gravel, bad gravel, tar and water crossings. We will travel in scenery ranging from the arid Karoo to the lush forests of Knysna. Amazingly we'll see all of this in ± 1600km.
