Local is lekker
One of my cars or bikes, a place I haven't eaten at, and the best road there. No stars, no reviews: if I'd go back, it goes up here, with a button that routes you there from wherever you are.
First run: Saturday 31 October.

In 2004 I took a KTM 950 Adventure, a paper map and a planning committee that mostly drank beer into Namibia, and I've been going back ever since. Then came the Alfas, the hill climbs and a racecar that wouldn't drive. Twenty-odd years of it is on the blog: the trips that went sideways, the race weekends, the factories.
