Freedom Challenge Race Across SA day 4

FCRASA day 4

As this going to be relatively short day, we got going at 06:17. Out of Masakala the navigation was quite easy and we made good time onto the Kinera floodplain. After we negotiate the first part, Johan Radcliffe and Willem descided to try a low road. The rest of us went the normal route. In the end they did pick up some mud, but everybody arrived at Queens Mercy at the same time. We stopped at the spaza shop and had a pleasant recovery stop. 

From here we went down a district road which led up to the entrance of Mprehane hill. We had to carry our bikes up the first section and then stopped for a group photo. Riding along the ridge is a real pleasure and we reached the FC bokkie leading down to the old Gladstone farmstead. The ride down the hill was quite hairy, but we all made it in one piece.  We followed the track through the veld and down the side of the hill, where we had to scramble down a rock face to get to the bottom. After crossing the river we joined the road up to Malekonyane, srriving there at 14:30.
