David submitted a write up of their bike trip around the western Cape of South Africa to Adventure Bike Rider magazine. The article ‘The Garden Route’ was featured in issue 13 2012.
The feature talks about their journey through the Cape winelands, the ride up and over Alfred Pass, the route down to the coast and the views back to Cape Town. The whole journey was helped hugely with the knowledge of Alex Jackson of Kaapstad Motorcycle Adventure Tours Ltd. Kaapstad Motorcycle Tours take groups of motorbikers on tours of South Africa and therefore have a fantastic understanding of the country. Alex kindly gave advice on the roads to take, scenery to take in and guest houses to stay in.
The article also features advice on where to rent a bike from, how long to go for and the kit to pack. This trip was very much a holiday rather than a motorbiking adventure and would suit all types of bikers wanting to explore beautiful South Africa.
