The previous evening while sitting in the bar and chatting to locals, we asked then where a good place to ride would be, given that we were heading towards Frasierberg. They immediately said "Die Ou Pos Weg", which in English is "The Old Post Road". They explained how we would get there by turning off to Rhenoster valley, just after the observatory so we did that and found it to be a magnificent road for 180km of pure Karoo wildness and the odd farm along the way. If we counted ten farms along the way that was a lot, probably less!
This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com. A short series on the Karoo Motorbike tour we took on during September 2011. See the plans for the trip blog here:
Planning a 6 day 2500km route through the Karoo maximising dirt

Southern African motor cycle tours on our list of tour route summaries are available, where we explore these sorts of
motorcycle tour routes. Just choose one of our
