African Bicycle tour - Tough

I know this is not hunting BUT it is very interesting story to read especially for those whom have traversed these routes by vehicle,

I cant imagine that trip on a bike, maybe Lance Armstrong could do it, but not mere mortals like you and I

Also some beautiful OLD PICTURES as well

Some people have a dream and the will to do anything Eeker

Their route also passes by our Conservancy ranch in the Zoutpansberg Mountoians

Very interesting. I have ridden the road to Messina on a Motorcylcle a couple of times and by car a few more.

While I was living in Equatorial Guinea I met a french chap, with a bike and a backpack he was travelling around Africa or at least that part of Africa, I still remember his legs all biten by insects, he was doing his trip alone !! Eeker

This OLD picture of the road through Wylies Poort before the tunnel was constructed is now IN FACT part of our Conservancy Ranch



If you look towards the left of existing paved road that is where the OLD ROAD used to traverse between the mountains BUT after very severe flooding and the road being washed away many times they decided to build the tunnel completed in 1961 which is still there today
