This 4-day adventure is nothing but gravel road paradise, winding along hidden backroads
through many different & unique terrains, from the Cederberg Mountain passes & the wide landscapes of the Northern Cape.

A tarmac road takes us to Nieuwoudtsville where the terrains have changed dramatically into open landscapes with beautiful dirt roads.
Botterkloof pass is a must do for adventure riders, leading us straight into the heart of the rugged Cederberg mountain range.
The Cederberg offers some technical, but manageable dirt riding & rewards riders with a truly unique experience in untouched nature.
