TALANA LOOP

This is a flat and fast route ideal for families or riders wanting to do a time trial. There are a few rollers once you reach the turn-off to the Poortjieskloof Dam, six of them in fact if you want to count them before you reach the R62. There is a nice rest period for around 6 kilometres before turning back onto the dirt through Rietvlei No 1, and back onto the short section of tar on the narrow old section of the old Barrydale Road and onto the Talana Road back to town.
