    High Tech not!

    Not only have I driven through Hofmeyer (near Molteno) 100 times but I have a map book. The boys have the GPS. First they couldn't find Molteno on the GPS and now they can't find the N1 highway. The route is Jhb to Bloem then Gariep dam to Steynsburg and finally Molteno. For some inexplicable reason they decided to follow the GPS and we are now on a dirt road looking for town called Excelsior. Our speed is 75km/h instead of 130k/h and it is quite silent in the car. We looked at the non technology direction finder - the map book - and saw we were closer to Maseru (Lesotho) than our destination. How these two got to Cape Town in last year's Freedom Challenge is a mystery. Oh yes, they didn't have a GPS, only maps!

  • Santacruzrulz's Space

    I host two cycling stage races - road and mountain bike - and I have just added a third event - The Alchemy Trail.. I like to tour rather than race and I crave wide open spaces. I completed the 2300km Race Across South Africa in June 2009 which inspired blogging. I don't do well without a goal of sorts and that keeps me outdoors.

    While this seems primarily a cycling blog, I'm interested in much, much more. There's more on trail running, novel writing and anything else that catches my interest.
