Somewhere on a road near #Teebus, the #noordkaap nights are calling 👌 . . Can we all agree that #2020 has been a pretty kak year so far, and that we can't wait to do a #roadtrip through #southafrica when it is all finally over!? The way to kick-start #localtravel will be to #playlocal and #staylocal, and I for one cannot wait to hit those heartland roads in the trusty @isuzusa #isuzuMUX 🏕️ . . The @ozone.africa crew has - like all other sport and outdoor agencies out there - lost nearly 100% of their events and projects this year. This #MovingImage was shot last year at @petrichoradventures @trek2teebus stage race, and it sucks that we had to lose this unique shoot (and at least 25x other shoots). But you know what? You cannot keep #adventure - or good people - down! The first projects are happening soon, and before you know it, we'll be back under those starry skies of @northerncapetourism 🌟 🌟 . . #IsuzuSa #WithYouForTheLongRun #NorthernCape #TheresWorkToDo #Trek2Teebus #SpotAfrica #GetLostStayFound #frontrunnerza #BornToRoam #oZoneAfrica #AndBreathe (at Teebus, Northern Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQBRK7pC9X/?igshid=1q2j40iy2euh9

I mentioned our #Teebus @ozone.africa ascent in my earlier post below ... this is what it looks like at the top, courtesy of the @gopro #Fusion360 from @goproza #fokkenscary 😬 ---- I'm an #OosKaap boytjie, so the odds were always high I'd enjoy #Trek2Teebus and the #steynsburg region as a whole. I never realized how much, though ... In a way, it was like coming home, I suppose. The Baviaans River Conservancy where I grew up is but a couple of hours away, and I felt like a 56yr old kid let loose within a familiar outdoor playground. Rooigras seeds in your socks, the Lego jumble of ysterklip koppies, the whistle of wild rheebuck on windswept ridge lines, the smell of the fertile red soil ... it all felt comfortably familiar. Although our focus was on the 2nd edition of the @trek2teebus #Karoo #MTB Adventure, the @ozone.africa crew did duck into the mountains a few times. Our first adventure was a lightning fast ascent of the iconic #Teebus copy, followed a couple of days later by a ridgeline #trailrun recce for a potential #Trail2Teebus Stage Run. Keep your ears open for further announcements 😏 It was as always great to have my #oZone tjaaina @zaneschmahl as wingman, and with key adventure brands @isuzusa, @FrontRunnerZA, @spotafrica and @sealandgear on board. It's all about #trust. Loved spending time with @rohangermishuys, @fleurvaneeden, @rudiboth and their superb team. You guys feel like family, and I cannot wait for the next adventure 🙏💙 Some top 📸 by @zaneschmahl 🙌🏻 #Trek2Teebus #Trail2Teebus #Teebus #northerncape #easterncape #trails #trailrun #climbing #mtb #adventure #steynsburg #aonijie #vivolicious #vivobarefoot #sealandgear #discovernewpaths #IsuzuSA #WithYouForTheLongRun #africa #travel #frontrunnerza #BornToRoam #spotx #getloststayfound (at Eastern Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw6lBZaipJ8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gyl0amg86xmf

Bloubospunt. Plaatfontein. Bulhoek. Koffiebus. Diknek ... The corner of the #Karoo where the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Free State cosy up to each other is a far-flung and oft-forgotten piece of #southafrica. It is wasteland and heartland in stasis, with a rich history inexorably being eroded by urbanization, rural neglect and rural economic collapse. A ghost town - with an Olympic-sized swimming pool - decays in the shadow of #Teebus Peak; Paul Kruger's old house lies locked and forgotten off the R53; the tar road up #BullhoekPass is overgrown and unused; Steynsburg has the post-apocalyptic feel of a town from the pages of a #DeonMeyer novel ... And yet, the area brims with such richness and diversity. Characters - like Oom Charles on the farm where we are staying - are larger than life, and country hospitality overwhelms you around every corner. And if you decide to ride #Trek2Teebus, the route and landscape promises to truly blow your mind. We've just finished shooting #Day1 of this #CountryCrank on remote tracks and farm roads tripping beyond #Teebus & #Koffiebus kopjes looming up from the savanna grassland, and the field of riders are in their element as they weave amidst #nguni cattle, or meander through endless fields of mauve irises. This is #mtb heaven, and you need to ride here to understand the attraction of this wonderful space. Thanks for having us here, @petrichoradventures and @trek2teebus - what an incredible blast it has been so far 🙏 This event is sure to keep growing from year to year 🙌🏻 #karooPanoramaRoute travel #petrichoradventures #Trek2Teebus #Teebus #mtb #mountainbike #BornToRoam #frontrunnerza #IsuzuSA #WithYouForTheLongRun (at Steynsburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwu1SvMJ2xV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=svlzhdp5oxk0

So much #mtb Stoke along our recent @around_the_pot route recce via the @swellendam_tourism and #Hessequa Region's. Great to tackler another @ozone.africa Project with the kickass crew from @petrichoradventures ... First up on the programme, however, is the legendary @trek2teebus MTB Experience happening in the shadow of #Teebus mountain next week. It promises to be the ultimate combo of #Karoo cranking, cuisine and culture. Today, is your LAST CHANCE to enter ... Maak n plan, my tjaaina, en kom drink n #RiekieLouw saam met #DieOom 🙌🏻 (at Teebus, Northern Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwWN_s5JoDD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sbyiba99qm13
