Got some friends together to take a weekend breakaway to the Cederberg
Leaving Hermanus early, the air quite crisp



Meeting new riders that joined the breakfast, work commitment called



The first taste of dirt, had some rain and the roads were dust free



Ouberg pass, first of many





Karoo landscape with a lot of vehicles on the road



Tankwa roadstall, quick drinks before we go on

From Peerboomskloof (Skitterykloof) pass, the road with all the traffic behind us from a distance





Ruins beside the road, someone once lived here



Katbakkies pass

Cederberg mountains







Rest place for the night, Cederberg Oasis





Up early busy planning the road home

Nice breakfast before the days ride



Packing up



Looking back on the road we came



Turn off

Travelling through the Cederberg mountain range, beautiful



Nice roads





Quite a big rock



Uitkyk pass

Good to have friends that share the same passion



Lunch



Last dirt road and bridge crossing



Time to split up and say good bye



770 km pure joy

What a great ride and superb photos to document it too.

I'm not too sure about the merits of salad with a morning fry-up though?

I am so envious, those roads are spot on for the XT. Particularly as fuel stops are few and far between. Not to mention how isolated you are if there's a flat. REAL Adventure.
