Hi guys, I have read up on the internet about the bike racks but only Topeak is available in South-Africa and I have a dual suspension bike so I had to take a beamrack. My panniers are loaded with 6.3 kg and I hope the added strap to my saddle brackets will give some extra support.

Hello Margaret,
I see now where I went wrong.... Thank you so very much for your help. Arriving in SJPdP we will go to the train station first and if any problems we'll adjust our programme so as to have enough time to cycle to Bayonne - not too far really.

Also: is it possible to buy a ticket at the train station the afternoon before or must we book in advance (difficult from South...
Hi,

Any other suggestions?

Hi, new to all this. My friend and I want to cycle from Le Puy using the actual hiking paths rather than tar roads. We will be bringing our own mountain bikes and have done multistage mountain biking before all over South Africa.
From some websites I gather more people use tar roads near the...
