Old Houwhoek pass, Botriver
 
Long weekend in RSA, but I have to work, so I did a day ride on the old pass, right in my back yard

The pass was quite rough after some rain earlier in the year, some work has been done, but still pretty technical some places

The Southern Cape is always so pretty. That seemed just the right type of food for the Tenere. Lovely :icon_smile:
