Loosely based on the idea of an Appalachian Trail, this mountain bike journey wends its way all the way from the north of South Africa's Limpopo Province, across the undeveloped highlands of Lesotho and down to the Cape Peninsula, following the Spine of the Dragon, the majestic Escarpment formed by the Drakensberg mountains.The authors blazed this trail that has only existed in theory to date. All of the maps were created by co-author Steve Thomas, and are presented from a mountain biker's point of view. Each section has a start and end point and gives detail important to cyclists.
