Cederberg to Namakwaland Tour.
Two awesome days of riding. The Cederberg is a magical place with it's beautiful rock formations. A quick stop at Cederberg Oasis is a must for some good carbo load before you take on Esselbank and Wuppertal. The road to over Esselbank and Wuppertal was surprisingly good contradicting reports we got on how bad it is and how much sand there is. In my opinion it was the least sand I have ever seen in the route.
Our stay at Traveller's Rest Farm Stall & Restaurant is always a pleasant one and Charité and her team spoiled us with the most delicious home cooked meals.
Saturday we did a 300km loop into Namakwaland and visited Nieuwoudtville from where we did a beautiful ride down Die Helse Pad before we stopped for lunch at Bagdag Café. From Bagdad we made our way back to Traveller's Rest via Brand se Berg another beautiful ride.
Another great tour with awesome people creating memories. Herewith some pictures of the weekend. Like them love them and share the love 👊🏻👌🏻😍

Our first tour for 2025 done and dusted!!
Jongensfontein is always a blast and we were blessed with supurb weather. The evening around the campfire was festive and filled with laughter of everyone's stories of the day. We treated everyone to some great lamb tjoppies and Boerewors and of course our famous crispy garlic Ciabatta bread 🤤🤤
Drie Pikkewyne Jongensfontein is an absolute blast and a nice setting for having drinks overlooking the bay. On Sunday morning they served as with a delicious breakfast before we hit the road again.
Herewith some pics of the weekend but they only tell halve the story😜
Our next tour is 14-16 March Cederberg to Namakwaland. Details will follow soon. See you there! 👍🏻 😁

Buckle up! The desert is calling, and the is answering in full force ⚡ Only 3 days left! How would you prepare for this adventure? 🤔 Tudor Watch

Nice but I'm still thinking to go lighter and smaller. With all that is happening at KTM the development of the 990 is probably stopped for now🤔

KTM’s big boss Adventure model, the 1390 Super Adventure R, gets the more off-road focus with chassis, body and dashboard updates plus 50cc more and new “camshaft” engine technology for smoother low-speed riding and more top-end power.

I love the grip of the TKC 80 especially on the back but stopped using them. The reason being that the millage you get vs the price you pay just did not make sense anymore.
Now I wonder with their new tire how much longer it will really last and at what price tag 🤔🤔

Continental has launched the new TKC80 dual-sport tire, now more durable than before and offered in a wider range of sizes.

And that's a wrap!!! Another year of tours done and dusted.
We ended it in true WAVOLT style with amazing accommodation at Aan de Eike Guest House in Swellendam. You can definatley make Aan de Eike your next stay in Swellendam.
Then The Garden Shack restaurant man, Syd have cooked up a storm for us. The fish and seafood potjie was out of this world!!!!
Lastly our clients on this tour. You were amazing I think my tummy muscles still aches from all the laughter. You were and amazing bunch of people and without you non of this is possible.
Here are some pics taken by everyone. Looking forward to a great touring season in 2025. First tour is first weekend of Feb 2025

Camdebo Karoo Tour. What a blast. Perfect weather conditions to explore this beautiful area of Graaff Reinet and surrounds.
Over the 3 days we did Pearson, Noorsvlakte, Jansenville, Sondag river, Erasmuskloof, Kompsberg, Nieu Bethesda, Murraysburg and Aberdeen.
Our stay and Karoopark Guest House never disappoints and we were spoiled with delicious Karo cuisine.
Another one for the books

Day 2. It's the Moordenaars Karoo today. After breakfast we left around 9am making our way to Witkoppen. On our way to Touwsriver my screen started flashing an ice ❄ warning at 3 degrees. My fingers were numb and my face burning with cold. It was officially my coldest ever on a bike.
My thoughts were this should be fun and not suffering and with that we pulled in to Mugg & Bean Touwsriver to get a cuppa and warm up.
It took about 20 min for the cloud cover to disappear and the sun ☀ to show it's welcomed face. The temperature jumped to a warm 8 degrees 😂 and off we went on our ride.
Witkoppen is always a beautiful ride but today the show was stolen by Moordenaars Karoo...what a ride it was. River crossing after river crossing and such amazing Karoo scenery. The ride gave us a little bit of everything you want on a ride. To finish it off in style we stopped at the Matjiesfontein Lord Millner Hotel for a delicious bite and a drink.
Another tour for the books. Our next tour will be Camdebo Karoo 20-24 September. Till then Keep it Twisted 👍🏻😀

Day 1 - We all arrived at Karoo 1 for a quick meet and greet. I was a fresh morning with snow peeping at us from the mountains behind de Doorns.
En route to Op-die-Berg it was a chilly 8 degrees on the bike. The roads were still pretty wet and it was slow go to Op-die-Berg but everyone made it without any incidents.
Katbakkies was a beautiful ride en the road was in great condition. Tankwa Padstal was fun as always and it was good to be back there after an absence of almost two years.
The ride back to Karoo1 one via Pienaarspoort was great with a few tricky mud puddles sneaking up on you.
Tomorrow it's Moordenaars Karoo.
