It's time to come back! After yesterday ride to Lambert's bay I've decided to change the original plan. So instead of going back to Pretoria passing by Springbok and Upington, I've decided to make the long way back through the Karoo. It's less adventurous but I can also do it in 1 day instead of breaking the way back in 2 days riding alone. I didn't received any confirmation from my friends so because I'm on y own I prefer to make the "shorter" way back.
Unfortunately not that much to show due to the rain. I've started in at 3 AM and immediately after the Huguenot tunnel the rain started. Now driving in the dark under a shower it's not the best and after the 1st 100 km I've decided to reduce the risk and stopping by Worcester. If I cannot avoid the rain at least I'll try to have the light.
So I waited 1 hour circa at the gas station. After that I continued under the rain for the next 680 km till Colesborg and there I took the first picture...
My waterproof tested bike..
and the wet perspective left behind..
Unfortunately I didn't put the statistic on my way to Cape, but I did on my way back and the result it's quite impressive. I rode for 16 hrs in total, from 3 AM till 7 PM.
