Lesotho weekend

Johannesburg, South Africa

Spent the weekend riding around Lesotho, a small mountain kingdom approx 400 km from Johannesburg. The mountain roads are breathtaking. The scenery stunning...not a place to ride for the faint hearted as there are so many switchbacks and treacherous bends, not to mention cattle and loose rocks that a single lapse of concentration could be fatal! Riding in a pack of 19 bikes, we headed out of Maseru past Mohale dam. There were at least 300 tight bends and switchbacks within a 60 km distance ...bikers heaven! This is definitely a place to get to see and ride in...one for the bikers bucket list!

More twisties and switchbacks than you could ever imagine...elevation of 2,200 metres...beautiful scenery!
