I love reading trip reports like this. Cold, rain, dirt, even rocky sections. It's packed with 'time spent actually riding that land' that no spec sheet captures. Touring South Africa's mountains on an accessible bike like the V-Strom 250 SX sounds great. Makes me want to open a map and think about where to go next.

Is the V-Strom 250SX more of an off-road-leaning spec?

Having a bike-rental option at events like this really lowers the barrier to joining.

In the 250SX class, the weight might make things tough in genuinely rocky terrain.

Curious about the details of how the checkpoint system rules actually work.

Great to see an event that pushes a 250cc-class bike through terrain this serious.

Clearing rocky terrain in the rain is exactly the kind of thing that captures the real joy of adventure riding.

Wet dirt is nerve-wracking even for experienced riders, so this should directly build up participants' skills.
