We went on the most beautiful xc ride on Sunday with a local crew of friends. We set of to Grabouw in the dark, to have an early start, because it was supposed to be another real scorcher of a day. It was like a kid in a candy store, because I have been wanting to do this ride for year’s, and just have never been able to…
It is unmarked, very hidden, not quite legal (shhhhh!) and you have to go with people who really know where to go. It was an exciting adventure and proved to be even more spectacular than I had envisioned it to be.The ride itself was about 50km, and the climbing was not that bad. All in all it took us about 3 1/2 hours to do, which doesn’t even seem to be that long of a ride these days (a good sign for what we are about to go and tackle).When we got to the view point, we looked down onto Kogel Bay beach, which was just mind blowing. There was not a breath of wind, the skies were so clear and blue, the sun was shining and we were all amazed at the incredible beauty in front of us that was hidden right on our doorstep.
