More busy roads! Ceres has a fruit packing plant processing product for the region. Harvest was in full swing when we were there and the number of trucks pulling double trailers full of fruit or empty trailers going to the farms made riding undesirable. Michell’s Pass is very beautiful. Choose your own route. This is something completely different. And I am very much looking forward to it, as it was one of might highlights of last year. You choose how far you want to go today. Worst case (or best case, depending on your point of view) is a 4am wakeup and 220kms ride that includes Michells pass, Gydo pass, Op-die-Berg, Bainskloof pass (in both directions) and Slanghoek valley road. OR choose to turn in Ceres for a circa 75km option to Goudini. OR skip Ceres and go directly to the top of Bainskloof for a 82km option. OR include both Ceres and the top of Bains for 108kms. Alternatively pick the shortest and most direct route down Slanghoek valley road to Goudini for a 50kms option. More time for swimming and relaxing and yoga.
