"off the beaten track"

Our next adventure ended off the beaten track, it was here that John had to draw on his experience of off road biking.  I held on for dear life, as we climbed the mountainous gravel road.  This was the introduction to the many mountainous adventures that were to follow...

The route travelled was up the Maanharrand pass in the Magaliesberg Nature reserve.

    1. Yes it sure was another page in my diary of biking experience! In his younger days my husband used to do motocross and enduros so luckily he has experience in it!

    1. Dirt is tricky and I think the lighter the bike the better it can handle those conditions together with the type of tyres too
