Took a ride on 23rd March 2012 out via Barrydale and Ladismith and through Seweweekspoort Pass and back through Laingsburg and down the N1 back to Cape Town. Pleasantly cooler weather than usual and the gravel roads were in excellent condition. Just a pity I could not find the geocache outside Laingsburg.
