The old Houwhoek pass, friends reported a week ago that the road is quite bad from rain we had
I ride this pass quite often and could not believe how they moaned about the road being in a bad condition
So, I had to go and look myself
Entrance and sad to see smoke from over the hill, must be a fire



The road in quite a bad state, washed away indeed





And then, the veld was indeed on fire



But, my mission was to explore and ride the pass



Lots of deep loose sand, rocks and big holes, a challenge indeed













Time to enjoy the scenery as well









Done and dusted



Sad to see this







One of the best workouts I've had in years, the road is indeed in a bad condition and quite technical at times, hope it get's some repairs before the winter rains
