Legendary road builder, engineer, artist and naturalist Thomas Bain changed the fate and fortunes of many communities in long-forgotten places, creating tracks, roads and iconic mountain passes into the hinterland of Southern Africa.
Steeped in pre-history and Bain’s latter-day legacy, the awe-inspiring mountains of the Klein and Great Karoo today provide tamer passage through chasms and passes cut by the great man.
Dryland Ride will guide you and your family on a never-to-be-forgotten mountain bike tour over these classic roads and the single track footpaths used to build them.
