Day 1s full recap!
Hogsback to Katberg - 46km
Antony's day 1 diary -
An early start with a drive at 5h30 to Hogsback.
We arrived at 7h30 and set off by 8h00
It was a great cool day with the weather and we all enjoyed the ride. Mitchells pass and the last section before Katberg were a bit challenging as there was no road, we needed to do a bit of walking Had an awesome lunch at Katberg golf course and then had a swim in the icy pool.
Resting the bodies for tomorrow, 1400m of elevation over 75km but the first 900 m elevation is in the first 10km!
Anrico's day 1 diary -
Tough at first from Hogsback with the first climb but got used to it as time went on, rocky terrains which I liked lol for a challenge but had to get off the bike when it got worse last piece was litterally a mountain to climb but worth it for the scenery.
Blessing's day 1 diary-
The first and last piece were the hardest. The scenery was absolutely stunning, the mountains, Ohhh so beautiful. Got to our Katberg Golf course stop. It's beautiful, had lunch and now we're resting and looking forward to tomorrow's trip.
