Bicycle Tour: Day 10 - The Karoo Carries On
With Jaco on the road and me in the support vehicle, we set to carry on through the Karoo. I have traveled many times through the Karoo but this route brings about a new meaning to the Karoo, a dry area full of beauty. I could spend quite some time out here. I’m surprised that this area doesn’t have more safari styled accommodations for the luxury travel market. Each and every farm provides some form of accommodation in the form of guest houses. Jaco set off in the morning heading towards Anysberg Nature Reserve. Today two options for the route. The main route was a smoother and easier dirt track and the alternative being more undulating and providing more climbing. Jaco chose the alternative route and it proved to be quite challenging. The track was sandy and mildly technical forcing some walking to be done. Our night’s accommodation was at Anysberg Nature Reserve. The accommodation was simple as was dinner. Two other folk, of which one was a replacement rider, are to join us tonight.
