Lesotho 1 Qacha’s Nek to Pitsaneng

Lesotho 1 Qacha’s Nek to Pitsaneng will be the first full day of cycling. The route follows the Senqu River (Orange River) most of the way. I think it will be quite tough as it is 70 km’s with 1810m ascent and what is more it has about 2200m descent, so my brakes will be tested fully.

I have decided to stay mainly on the Road the whole day due to the distance that I need to travel.
