Rhodes Rumble
Lady Grey, Eastern Cape
13-17 November 2024
Here’s one for all the riders that want to explore the same area to what’s
offered on The Ben 10 Eco Challenge, but at a more relaxed pace, without the need
for riding over huge rocks and up scary inclines!
Yup, we’ve heeded the call from our guests wanting to participate in the fun without
fear. Whether you’re concerned about holding back the pack or finding yourself out
of your depth, we’ve got you covered. May we introduce the Rhodes Rumble;
designed specifically with great accommodation in mind, magnificent riding at a
relaxed pace with a group of similar minded folk, all looking to have a great off-road
motorcycling trip in the mountains.
Our lodges have been carefully chosen for their authenticity to the area and quality
of accommodation and dining. Farmhouses and quirky hotels will be the standard
and single rooms are quoted unless otherwise specified.
Although this tour is accessible to far more riders than the full cream Ben 10, we
must caution that this is predominantly an off-road adventure consisting of five
mountain passes that are part of the 10 highest in South Africa. As a result, only
intermediate level and above adventure motorcycle riders will qualify for entry onto
this event. All adventure touring motorcycles are welcome, providing they are
equipped with fresh off-road tyres and soft luggage options. No hard cases or top
boxes will be permitted.
The average distance covered will be around 180km’s per day, keeping the riding
short, safe and exciting. We always aim to arrive at our overnight stop by mid-afternoon so that we can either have a nap, chat with buddies or explore the
surroundings at leisure before sundowners with the tour group and dinner.
Tour highlights include Naude’s Nek, Joubert’s Pass, Lundean’s Nek and the
spectacular Barkley Pass.
