Survival Tips:
-start early, directly when the park opens. The photos do not show the true car density!
-Tyres: at least 28 - better 32 mm or gravel bike. The descent is a challenge: grooves, cracks, bad potholes; Distraction through grandiose views and shadows can quickly overlook danger spots like kl. Sandy or gravel spots, horse droppings that suddenly appear in curves....
-well-maintained disc brakes with decent "reserve". On the descent, they are practically in continuous operation.
- Attention oncoming traffic 😱! The road is mostly single lane. The many cars, SUVs, minibuses are 'let loose' in the convoy and try, according to the 'journey to Jerusalem' principle, to get up so fast and so far that departing cars block the way... Then everyone has to agree that who resets until the next bulge. Conclusion: Spectacular - BUT dangerous meeting of different "motivations"! Take good care!
