The Rider's Compass — Garden Route Edition

The Garden Route is not one long, fixed route. This guide helps you decide where and when to ride, with route maps for the N2, Seven Passes Road, Outeniqua Pass, Montagu Pass, Swartberg Pass, Prince Alfred's Pass and Robinson Pass, the road status as checked on 12 September 2026, and two-, three- and four-day plans.

Before every pass you answer five questions. If one answer is no or unknown, you don't ride.

English PDF, 15 pages, 1.4 MB. Road conditions change — confirm the status on the day you ride.

New route editions are added from time to time. Each one is a separate guide bought separately; they are not included in this guide.
