Bicycle Tour, Day 4 - Hit the Road Jack
Mountain Pass
I’m back on the road and bouncing like a rabbit to get going. I feel good and ready. Day three was hard not being on the road but after watching Jaco climb out the two passes; I don’t feel so bad anymore.
After a little bit of research and avery keen host, we decided to depart a little later than usual, 09h00. After breakfast we got started and said farewell to meow-meow – a very affectionate cat that ate everything we ate. The Baviaanskloof is full of affectionate cats.
With ideal conditions we set about making quick sticks of the 39km ahead. At the halfway mark there’s a nice place known as The Sandwich Bar, which came in highly recommended. Unfortunately for us it was closed.
In no time we reached Makkedaat Grot. After a little confusion we discovered that Makkedaat Grot is in fact five caves in which you can stay. Thus far the accommodations have been simple but very nice with breakfast and dinners all being top notch.
For the better part Jaco and I are doing and feeling well if you don’t count the fact that we need to find soft items to sit on.
