Chasing the Goose

#1 Unread post by sapaul »

Had some holiday time and rode some truly awesome roads. Here is Meeringspoort a magical ancient gorge that people have been visiting for years. The road crosses the stream about 27 times in 20 odd kms.

I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now

We had a great trip, will try get some pics up.

The problem is you cannot appreciate it fully on film. That place truly is magical.

That was beautiful country! When you mentioned crossing streams, will, I thought of muddy bikes, wet boots etc! hahaa. Okay, got it then! The area reminds me of my old stopping grounds in Montana (USA). What was the temps like there?

Thanks again for posting the video!

regards,
Wishing you my best

Typical South Africa, clear blue sky's, but cold for us about 10 C. One of those rides that calms the soul and reminds you that bikes are special.
