HI all. New to this forum. I wonder if any of you have ridden Mafika Lisiu pass in Lesotho? It clearly appears to be a monstrous ride!! 1065m climb in 11 KM with a summit altitude of 3090m above sea level. What makes it worse for me... I have not ridden a bike for 15 years and have only been back in the saddle for 3 months!! I have given myself 1 year to go from not owning a bike to riding to the top of the pass. Quote a lot of work to do to get ready so I thought I would blog my insane efforts.... http://dougcycling.wordpress.com Anyone ridden this pass and can comment on just what a climb it is? Cheers, Doug
