Leeupoort Farm Braai Ride

Ride from Pretoria, via the Brits canals to near Leeupoort for a lunchtime braai and then dirt to Pienaarsriver, where we stopped for a swim and quick drinks break. It was an incredible route in a scorching 36 degrees, which is unseasonably hot for spring. Overall it's a very scenic route, with plenty of sand and corrugations. We were lucky enough to see giraffe, eland, wildebeest, kudu and impala along the route. Excuse the wind noise for the 1st half, the mic adapter became dislodged, as a result of the corrugations. https://youtu.be/fMGNlEbvW3M?si=94F1vU7e-BhVUlux Luggage: The only luggage was the Kriega OS-6 Adventure Pack bag for my cooler bag and drinks, the tools were in the Kriega Tool Roll and that, with the rain suit were in the Kriega OS-12 Adventure Pack. I used the Giant Loop Zig Zag handlebar bag to carry some basic tools and Alpine ear plugs and the Uswe Outlander 9 hydration bag and 2l Uswe bladder, in the bag I had some snacks and a cap, for the harsh African sun. Tyres: I used the Mitas Enduro Trail XT + on the front, for added grip and the Dakar version on the rear, for added longevity. The Mitas Enduro Trail XT tyres now has around 4,000km on it and maybe has 1,000km left on the rear. I'll be replacing the rear with a Motoz Tractionator Adventure tyre, which I've already bought. I got over 11,000km on my previous Motoz Tractionator Adventure rear tyre. Tech Used: Cardo Packtalk Edge, in-helmet comms. I primarily use the Cardo Packtalk Edge to listen to music, streamed from Spotify, and take and make the odd phone call to my wife and children, I avoid work related calls when I'm away on the bike. Navigation: for this trip I used my UleFone Armor 8 Pro 4G Rugged Smartphone for my navigation needs, with the OsmAnd+ routing and mapping software - unfortunately the route was lost as the phone stopped charging and turned off. Below is a rough route of what we did, it does exclude all the farm "tweespoer" that we did, as that isn't on the public maps for me to plot it. The route from Greens (near Beestekraal) to Leeupoort: One of the stops was along the Pienaars Rivier, a great spot for a braai, I'm not to sure I'd camp there, for safety reasons. There are an abundance of trees, for shelter from the scorching African sun and the river looks clean enough for a swim.
