Day 16 - Up, up and away
As we were trying to double up, we left really early from Cambria towards the top of Baviaanskloof. This is a series of passes, big hills and small hills that need to be negotiated. The going was really hard at first but the views are indescribable. At one point I said to Earl and Andy that it's a pity that we cannot capture the whole experience and send it back home. My tubeless kit got damaged so I had to put on a new tyre and tubes so I will have to be on the lookout for thorns now - haven't had to do that for a while.
We had a delicious pasta dish at Damsedrif but immediately pushed on to Willowmore. There's not much to say about this stretch other than it was dark and cold.
There are no other guys here at Willowmore - they all left at 3pm this afternoon so we'll have to try and catch them some other time.

Hi Andre
Pity about the tyre but that seems small now compared with what youve been through already. Sounds like you are having a whale of a time, the scenery must be outstanding, its as though you dont want to leave it. Keep those legs going and look after that C.B. have a good day tomorrow and i hope there will be some catching up to do.
Go well, Stay strong and positive.
We are very very proud of you.
Love MOM.

Hi big little boet, glad all seems to be going well again. You are on the "downhill" now - the end is in sight. Keep your spirits up and know that we are all proud of you. Can't get to work fast enough in the morning to see where you are and how well you have done. Keep smiling, lots of luf, Lynn and Theo.
Andre, You are performing absolutely awesomely out there. Hopefully we will all get the benefit of some the anecdotes in the next few months. Keep it up.

Hey Andre,
Man am I pleased to see that with a little help from your friends you are back on the trail again. Dont over do it now - hang in there Cape Toawn is getting nearer now.

Hey Andre can't wait to go on to the Net every evening to see what you are up to!!! Thank God for broadband. Life is going to be a lot less exciting once you have crossed the finishing line!
Congrats on keeping it all together

Andre,
Voorspoed verder - mag jy nie enige meganiese issues weer kry nie - dit klink of jy nog sterk is (Mind & Body).
Vasbyt en enjoy!

Hi Andre,
When you ride back to your car I hope you remember to take some pictures. Us real bikers would probably never get a chance to see those dusty places. Good luck for the last bit.
