Thanks, I will check it out.

Any advise on cycling baggie shorts for women? Are they comfortable and where is the best place to buy in Cape Town?

I am trying to help a colleague at KMA to find a bike to use for the CTCT, as our director has invited us to join her to do the cycle tour with her, and raise money for KMA (Kronendal Music Academy). I have done the tour a couple of times, but Curtly Masemola, my colleague, has not and he does not have a bike. I promised to help him look for a bike that he can borrow for two months. He is 171cm tall and of slim built. The bike will be serviced before returned. If anyone can assist, it would be wonderful.

Hi Lynskey. I am very keen to communicate with you re this route. I have done one bikepacking trip in the Cederberg, with friends, and unsupported, so I am very keen to try out your route. If I can find out where the back routes are, it will be even better.

Hi Lynskey, this is a good idea. Which route did you take?

Ride there, do you mean I should just go and train on the route?

Thanks for the advise. I suppose I would be able to do 50 miles now, so maybe I must just get going. It feels like a big undertaking to get there and back if it is only for a 50 miler.

I have entered the 100miler, but haven't started to train yet. Is it too late, or is it still possible? I impulsively bought a Black Friday special entry, and now I need to get there, and I also really would like to do it. Any advise? I live in Pinelands, Cape Town.

Gosh, that is horrible!

Is this Masiphumelele? I thought it is part of Kommetjie.

Ja, I just called it a cbd. What shall I call it? The informal market plain? Not nice there, whith taxis, rubbish, pedestrians...just as you said.

@capediver, thanks for your advise. I did the route today, and kept in mind what you mentioned. I don't like the Kommetjie cbd part, but otherwise it is such a lovely ride. It is amazing how cold and misty Misty Cliffs really is.

Hi Chris. Thanks for this. I actually only read your post after I did take the road up past Ocean View today. I did indeed feel a bit exposed, but at least there was traffic, and a couple of cyclists coming from the opposite direction. I took the other road past the lighthouse on my way back, and thought that is indeed the better option. At least I got a good ride in.

How safe is the road from Noordhoek Village to Scarborough ( the one through Kommetjie and Misty Cliffs)?

Sjoe, dis nogal groot ritte! Baie dankie hiervoor.
