[Cape Town Cycle Tour 2022]

Hi all

Doing my first CTCT next year after doing my first RideJoburg this year 🙂

Entry and flight tickets from JHB already booked... 

Being a newby at this, what is the best way to get my bike there and back in 1 piece.

My airline said I can book it in as checked luggage, but it needs to comply with the size limits which I highly doubt it will...

Thanks in advance!

are you talking about the stretch that goes behind the engen and past Motorvia ?

 

Its narrow, and now has some roadworks, but I try and hit it very early in the morning when there is less traffic. coming back seems to be slightly less of an issue, the cars seem to travel at slower speeds. But over all the years I've been doing it I have not had any close calls

yeah exactly that stretch... cool, I'm hitting it early tomorrow morning

 

thanks all again for the advice!

Thanks all for the replies!

 

Is there anything as a solo rider I should completely avoid?

 

@ouzo - I am thinking of doing a very similar route, also going out with Pretoria rd, left + right past the big red in to irene and then cross R21 with nelmapius and coming back with pretoria rd. No issues with pretoria road between railway line and R21?

Hi all,

 

I am looking for road bike routes in and around Kempton Park... Anything between 50 and 100km.

 

I often refer to Strava's route planner.

Does anyone perhaps have some saved routes in this area?

(Kempton >> Centurion >> Midrand >> Kempton)

(Kempton >> Boksburg >> Benoni >> Kempton)

(Kempton >> Edenvale >> Bedfordview >> Kempton)

etc.

 

Are there any specific area's / roads to avoid completely?

 

Thanks in advance!
