Naadam is Mongolia's biggest traditional festival. This annual festival is also locally termed "eriin gurvan naadam", "the three games of men", which are Mongolian wrestling, horse racing, and archery. The festival and these games are held throughout the country during midsummer. It formally commemorates the 1921 Revolution, when Mongolia declared independence from the Qing dynasty and also coincides with Mongolian State Flag Day. This year's festival is currently underway, and while we are sad to miss these exciting celebrations, due to the pandemic restrictions, we will be to be back next year, when we will visit the festival and ride beloved Mongolia again!

Did you know that Tierra del Fuego, or the Land of Fire, is an island of souls? Long before the European settlers, Tierra del Fuego was inhabited by the native Selk’nam people. They roamed the island as semi-nomadic hunter gatherers, passing down their stories and traditions in the form of long songs. Deeply in sync with their natural surroundings, the Selk’nam believed that after death, their souls became a part of the island: every rock, seagull, beetle, and seal, according to them, was a Selk’nam soul, and the island was a part of them as much as they were the part of Tierra del Fuego. Today, the Selk’nam are long gone, but as you ride the lonely meandering road to Ushuaia, stop at the Garibaldi Pass and take in the view of the lake below – and there, on that narrow mountain road surrounded by pristine, seemingly untouched woods and tundra, it’s as if the island does indeed come alive. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Renedian Motorcycle Tours.

“Tuktoyaktuk” – Hard to spell, wonderful to get to. “we had a quick meeting under the Arctic Ocean sign to seal the fate of our Tuktoyaktuk trip. We all agreed that having a trip that was not entirely easy, with imposing geography and some challenging roads through sparsely populated areas, fit well with the other tours we ran in Mongolia, Africa and South America. With handshakes all around, Piet and John celebrated with the customary dip in the Arctic Ocean before turning around and heading south”. Read more about some of the Renedian crew’s experience riding through the remote Yukon, slip sliding along the Dempster Highway and taking that customary cold dip at the northernmost point that you can ride a motorcycle to in Nnorth America on one of Canada’s newest roads – but do not expect to spell this right the first time – Tuktoyaktuk. https://www.motorcyclemojo.com/2018/12/tuktoyaktuk/ Visit renedian.com for more info on our Canadian Tours •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Renedian Adventures.

Due to light pollution, star gazing in major populated areas is a disappointing affair at the best of times. However, in an extremely remote place like Canada’s Yukon Territory, the magic of our cosmos is almost impossible to miss. So just how remote is the Yukon? According to www.worldpopulationreview.com, Mongolia is the world’s least populated country on the planet with just 5 people per square mile. The Yukon Territory (if compared by itself) races past that and easily takes the top spot on the podium with an even sparser population density of just 0.18 person per square mile – almost 5 times less inhabitedpopulated than the world’s least populated nation! From a star gazing and northern lights perspective, that means dark nights!. If the weather plays along and gives your clear skies, you should be able to view the stars and see the Milky Way shine like you’ve never seen before! The Northern Lights are usually visible from mid to late August to early April during the dark hours. To be so fortunate to see the Northern Lights, you will need a dark, clear night when there areis either a solar flares on the sun or a solar wind, as the Aurora Borealis occurs when particles from the sun enter the earth’s atmosphere and then light up when they make contact with certain gas atoms. With this mouthful, be warned - the Northern Lights are very unpredictable and despite forecasts predicting a high probabilityprobabililty that it may appear, you should always consider yourself lucky when you do actually experience this concert in the night sky.

If you ask a local adventure rider living in or around Cape Town about what it is like to ride in the Western Cape, the first thing he or she will likely say is that: “this is dual sport heaven - the place where adventure bikers go when they die and don’t have to go to the warm place”. So, we did just that and asked Jaco Kirsten (former*) local legend, past editor of South African adventure motorcycle magazine TopBike and 2017 South African BMW Motorrad GS Trophy team member, what his five favorite roads/routes would be to ride during a day outing from Cape Town. These were his responses, and in no order of preference: ● Cape Peninsula loop – Riding the 12 Apostles, Suikerbossie, world famous Chapmans Peak Drive, and stopping on the way back from along the way at Boulders beach with a Penguin Selfie (All paved) ● Clarence Drive between the two coastal villages of Gordon’s Bay and Rooi Els – on a good day perhaps THE most beautiful stretch of road in South Africa? (All paved) ● Not a very well-known road, but riding the road to Kraalbaai, a hidden gem nestled on the shores of the Langebaan Coastal Lagoon. This place was famous during those “rough old days” for providing spectacular shots when the world could still make (and watch) Peter Stuyvesant cigarette ads . . . (All paved) ● Zipping up and over Helshoogte pass outside Stellenbosch in search for breakfast in the famous wine valley around Franschhoek – and then riding the spectacular Franschhoek pass.

If you plan to ride a motorcycle through Namibia and truly experience the country, you HAVE to plan your route so that a majority of the roads include its famous gravel highways. Not only can some of the most beautiful spots only be reached via gravel, but ingrained as part of the Namibian experience is to ride its gravel roads. Namibian gravel roads change constantly with the weather, the amount of traffic, and their maintenance. You can find them stretched out in front of you like a smooth Bavarian Autobahn, or you can be really lucky and find more challenging hidden sand patches, vibrating washboard or some hollowed out tracks around corners giving your front wheel a mind of its own. So expect some fun riding the Namibian gravel roads! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Renedian Adventures.

Ted Lawson still had the grin on his face and the dust in his ears when he recounted his experiences on Renedian Adventure’s Spectacular South West Africa expedition.

Namibia, formerly known as South West Africa, is perhaps one of THE most sparkly jewels in Africa’s adventure touring crown. It is the second least populated country on the planet (and that is only a close second after our other favorite place – Mongolia). Its name stems from the Namib desert, which means “vast place”. And it is EXACTLY that - you can literally ride for hours without another car, person, or even wildlife in sight. This place is pure, raw nature, and when you travel through its awesomeness, you cannot but appreciate our Blue Planet just a little more. But don’t be fooled, it is also an extremely dry country with most of the land actually uninhabitable. This is evident when riding those desert 'highways' where you'll encounter the endless deserts and dunes. It is a sin to visit Namibia and not experience the Namib desert – Sossusvlei is perhaps the most frequent and popular spot visited in the Namib, and for good reason. Some say the world’s most photographed dune, “Dune 45”, can be found there. We don’t know about that, but it sure is a truly majestic sight to behold. Further south, you will see another must visit spot - the FishRiver Canyon. Did you know that this canyon is the second largest canyon worldwide after the Grand Canyon in the USA? You can visit Namibia year-round, although the best time is perhaps during July to October, when the daytime temperatures are mild and the chances of rain are low, making it the most popular time for wildlife viewing and to enjoy a night under the stars around a big campfire. No motorcycle ride in Namibia is complete without spotting a majestic Oryx, the king of the Kalahari antelope, alongside the road.

When thinking about an adventure, the following two considerations should, among others, be asked during the planning stages: When is the best time to go and what is the most appropriate equipment for the job? Unless you are Chuck Norris or John Rambo, in our opinion, the best time to visit Mongolia weather wise is between the months of June and September. We once shared a few laughs with some hardened Muscovites from the Russian Embassy in Ulaanbaatar, and they complained bitterly about the Mongolian capital’s dreaded winters. We took that as good advice. Surprisingly, the summer is characterized by sunny days and rain to keep the scenery lush and green in the north. It’s a very pleasant time of year to ride your motorcycle, although the southern Gobi can get truly hot on some days. If you are planning on riding the Gobi desert, we would recommend a lighter enduro style bike. The attraction to ride the Gobi lies in the freedom experienced by not having to stay on any particular road, and a heavy bike may take away a bit of the fun, especially if you are lucky enough to encounter some deep river crossings, fine sand and rocky mountain tracks on your route. This does not mean that a large “BMW GS Block of Flats” can’t do it – it might just detract a little from the fun factor. Or it might not! Whatever bike you choose, be sure to fit the right tires for your adventure. At least a 50/50 off-road combination (such as the Continental TKC 50’s as an example) that can handle both dirt and pavement equally well is ideal - you will encounter some good paved roads in-between the fun stuff. Bottom line is, Mongolia is an adventure riding paradise and must be explored - just make sure you do that at the right time and with the right tool for the job! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Renedian Adventures.

Nate Davis had been telling his wife Kathy he’d like to take a motorcycle trip in the Alps, but Kathy, having had experienced Western Europe as an exchange student, had a more ambitious idea: the legendary Mongolia.. Nate grew up in Maine and didn’t venture too far from home until he met Kathy; they’d traveled to Germany, Australia, and the Czech Republic, but after speaking with Rene at the nearby Cleveland IMS (International Motorcycle Show), Kathy set her sights on Central Asia. It took a year to convince Nate to go on the Gobi Discovery expedition. “Mongolia has so few paved roads, we should go when we’re younger,” said Kathy.

“Mosi oa tunya” “The Smoke That Thunders” “Dr Livingstone, I presume?" "VicFalls” "Victoria Falls" Call it what you like, but Victoria Falls should be renamed as Africa’s Adventure Capital. Nowhere else in the world are you able, literally within the radius of a few miles, to do crazy things things like: ● bungee into a crocodile infested river ● white water raft class 5 rapids ● walk among a pride of lions ● ride a jetboat ● go on an elephant safari ● take photographs of a beautiful waterfall hanging from a microlight airplane or helicopter ● and bath in the Devil’s own Pool …..all while experiencing this stunning corner of the world aboard your motorcycle. Are you itching to get there yet? Most of our African tours makes a stop in this exciting place, so visit renedian.com for more info on how to possibly get your head chomped off while dangled below a stretchy piece of rubber!

When Robin Kierstead travels, she expects to enjoy the journey AND the destination. That’s why, when drawn to Africa to see the animals, our Victoria Falls to Cape Town itinerary clinched her decision to travel with Renedian. “Prior to this trip, I rode with a group through China and Tibet to the Everest base camp. The roads were beautiful and it was an adventure, but the whole trip was really long riding days, go to bed, and repeat. That left no opportunity to get immersed in the local culture and see the sights without feeling rushed. Renedian’s plan to have us at our daily destination by mid-afternoon, with opportunities to pull over and see things during the day, fit what I was looking for”, Robin told us.

Did you know that Cape Town started out as a... coffee shop? That’s right - South Africa’s Mother City was established in 1652 with the arrival of Dutch explorers setting up a coffee shop for the ships leaving on their way to the East or returning back to Europe. Cape Town must be one of the most spectacularly beautiful cities on this planet, with the famous Table Mountain providing the iconic backdrop to the city and its white, sandy beaches and turquoise colored water below. But back to the important coffee shop business: if you know downtown Cape Town (or the “City Bowl”, if you are a local), you will find the funkiest, world-class eateries and watering holes to keep you busy and entertained. Just a few city blocks apart, places like La Parada in Bree Street, Tjing Tjing Rooftop Bar, The House of Machines, Tiger’s Milk, the Village Idiot, Beerhouse on Long Street, and Sgt Peppers may require a month of nights out to properly experience it all! And from a riding perspective, it is even more fun. Ignoring the famous route around the Cape Peninsula for now – Chapmans Peak, 12 Apostles, and Cape of Good Hope (which you HAVE to ride as well), we would suggest an alternative: doing a loop through the winelands and across mountains. In the span of a mere 120miles/200km you will get to ride no less than 6 crazy mountain passes, each a rider’s delight. Leaving Cape Town, start off with ascending Bainskloof Pass above the town of Wellington, and then drop into the unknown but beautiful Slanghoek Valley (Snake’s Corner). Next is another ascend and crossing back over the Du Toits Kloof Pass into the town of Franschoek after passing the site where Nelson Mandela was famously released from prison in 1990, before ascending yet again up the exhilarating Franschoek Pass. Be careful of other bikes sharing the road with you. The route will spit you out in the Overberg region from where you will navigate Houwhoek Pass before Sir Lowry’s pass lets you set eyes on the Mother City again. All in a day’s work and play!
