Guys,

Pretty psyched to report that I am off to South Africa on 1/26 for a 2-week tour with Edelweiss Bike Travel with three of my oldest and best friends.
We did a trip with them in Austria a few years ago, their 'Alps Touring' trip, and it was excellent.



This one looks pretty epic - 14 days on the bikes - 2500 miles or so, 36 hours in Kruger Park (huge wildlife preserve), Johannesburg to Capetown. This trip has been 2.5 years in the planning.

This is an outline of our route, roughly:

Have been variously preparing for a month or so, getting vaccinations for scary things, reading my guide books, getting the business ready for me to be gone, inventorying my gear. Spent some of the last week on GPS stuff, loading maps and routes, getting a mount and power source organized. Just finished that this morning. I have some spare faceshields inbound and then I'm pretty much done with my preparations and it's time to start packing it up .

I can hardly wait .

WOW! I do hope you folks have a wonderful time! Looks like the trip of a lifetime!

Sounds great, Nils.
Only read in the bike magazines about those tours and they always sounded excellent.
Newly married and heading out for a couple weeks with the boys? Your wife got any sisters?

Nils -

Have a great time with the boys. I hope to ride with you all in the (hopefully not to distant) future.

Ride safe and take lots of pics!!!

THAT'S PITIFUL, Nils!!!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful time! Looking forward to the .pps show. Might be good fodder for a CBX booth at VMD. Or next year's Winter Meet. Thanks again for all the web work.

P.S. I AM jealous!

WOW, way to go Nils.
That sounds like the trip of a lifetime.
Enjoy yourselves.

Cheers

Missed that!!!
Now I know why you have disappeared from ICOA NILS ... And I, the fool, thought it was the honeymoon ...
SA is one of my favourite places in the world. Really hope one day to do a ride similar to yours.
Have a fantastic and safe time ol' chum, and do share with us mere mortals your pictures.

Your wife must be a fantastic lady

We have been patient, Nils.
Time for a Tour report...with a photo or two.

Haha. Yes, you have been patient. I will do it tonight .
