There is also the possibility of a car following us for the partners not wanting to ride the long distance. Non-Members and visitors on various makes of Motor Cycles are welcome.

Your itinerary, tour days as follows:

1) Depart Cape Town arriving in Oudtshoorn in the afternoon.

2) After a leisurely breakfast we saddle up and head for Graaf Reinet via Willowmore and Aberdeen.
3) Today is a day at leisure and you can explore Graaf Reinet and its breathtaking Dutch Reformed Church, the Valley of Desolation (Vallei van Verlaatenheid) is close to town as are numerous other points of interest. Our accommodation has a beautiful swimming pool so you may choose to just relax around the pool.

5) We wake up to the fresh odours of nature and realise today is another day at Leisure. At breakfast I will hand out a map of Hogsback and point out some interesting places to visit.
6) We leave Hogsback down the lovely little pass being mindful of our cold tyres as we head for Cintsa on the Transkei Wild Coast. Today is a very short ride and we can look forward to the welcoming cocktails at our Lodge on the beach. The rest of the afternoon at your leisure.

Rest day

7) We wake up to the waves breaking on the beach and a fantastic rest day. There are no plans for today. Spoil yourself with a massage, walk on the beach, drink wine around the pool and maybe do a quick check of the bikes as we start heading for home the following day.
8) After a day and a half of just chilling we start our return trip back home all along the coast. Our destination today is Storms River Village where we arrive mid-afternoon.
The pool beckons as do the 2 Jacuzzi’s. Tonight, is our final night so it is drinks all around.
